Shappi Khorsandi

Shaparak Khorsandi – previously performing under the name Shappi – established herself as one of the country’s finest comedians in 2006 with her sell-out Edinburgh show, Asylum Speaker. She is also a published author, keynote speaker, and advocate for human rights.

Her Edinburgh show lead to the publication of her childhood memoirs, A Beginner’s Guide To Acting English, her best selling literary debut. Her book was described as “very funny…also made me cry” by actress, Dame Emma Thompson.

In typical Shaparak style, this show told the story of how her family were forced to flee Iran and gain asylum in the UK. Her father’s popularity as a satirist attacking the regime has ensured they cannot return to Iran.

As Shaparak says, “obviously there’s free speech in Iran, but little freedom after you’ve spoken.”
