Sameena Zehra - Immigrunting

Sameena Zehra is back, sharing stories from a life spent travelling everywhere and settling nowhere.

$15 - $25 (service fees may apply)
55 minutes
16 - 20 May 2023

Unsettling encounters with animals, absurd border shenanigans, and that time David Attenborough narrated her death in the wild… or did he?

Sameena Zehra is back, sharing stories from a life spent travelling everywhere and settling nowhere. Until now. Maybe. If she can convince Immigration New Zealand she is, in fact, a viable human being.

Darkly hilarious and deliciously profane, this is an invocation to kill capitalism with fire. Or at least smack it in the face with a sardine.

You obviously have good taste. Check out the full line up in the 2023 NZ International Comedy Festival with Best Foods Mayo from 5 – 28 May.

Presented by The Magnificent Weirdos.
