Critically acclaimed, multi award-winning Writer and Comedian Aarian
Mehrabani, co-writer and actor of the 2023 smash hit play “It’s
a MotherF**king Pleasure”, brings his debut hour of stand up to life.
Aarian captivates the audience with his distinctive wit and irreverence. Drawing on his experience as a triple threat — blind, brown, and bi, man— Aarian weaves a powerful narrative culminating in performing a full stand-up hour just one year after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
In the show he explores his relationship with each of his identities,, and how an aggressive and life threatening battle with brain cancer in 2024 forced him to reframe and reclaim them.
“"Aarian Mehrabani has naturally perfect comedic timing, and left me genuinely winded with laughter a couple of times...Pure genius...as close to perfection as you can get" Binge Fringe
"entirely charming...Funny, chaotic and wincingly relevant." The Spy in the Stalls
"hilarious and incisive" Playbill
"Ridiculously entertaining." The Stage
This will be the first Work in progress performance of the show. Aarian will continue to develop the show ready for it’s premier at The 2026 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The show has been gratefully commissioned by The Lowry
