Jaffer is charming, engaging, and hilarious. He switches effortlessly between landing political jokes to personal jokes with skill, and navigates taboo topics with intelligence and packed punchlines. Not many comedians have the writing skill AND ability to deliver effortlessly like he can, and his stage presence shines through. Guaranteed he will be a household name next time you see him, get on this show now!

Not sure if I caught him at a bad night, or whether the lack of audience (there were 11 people there) threw him, but this was an awkward stand up. He's definitely got some good jokes but a lot of his effort went into asking the audience why they weren't laughing, why they weren't clapping etc and then commenting that it's very British to not laugh out loud (not true - we laugh out loud when we find something funny). A comedian should never ask his audience why they aren't laughing - weirdly there were no drunk hecklers in the audience otherwise that question wouldn't have ended well.

If he polishes and tightens his script, and skips the lazy jokes about Brits Vs Americans, he's got the potential to be a pretty funny stand up. Hope he returns next year with a bit more to offer.

Jaffer is hilarious! He had everyone laughing from start to finish with sharp jokes and compelling stories about teaching, Islamophobia, and 9/11. His closing bit that gives the show its title is truly next-level comedy. I had to go back and watch it again! Jaffer’s show deserves to be packed every night but it felt full anyway with how much he had us clapping and cracking up.

Hilarious! Thank you for reminding that the "Pledge of Allegiance" to the America flag exists. LOL
