Biography
Faizan is a Manchester-based comic who moved to the UK as a child. His well-crafted jokes make light of growing up in an immigrant household and the inevitable mental health challenges it brings. The quality of Faizan’s joke writing, and affable stage presence, has seen him progress quickly from beating Comedy Store’s King Gong and Frog and Bucket’s Beat the Frog, to now breaking through the circuit with a strong 20 minute set. Faizan is one of the most exciting new acts to come out of Manchester for a few years.
