One loves the 80's and is getting older, the other is Muslim, single and running from the elders.

Jackie and Naph are two fearless comedians with very different problems. But they share an ability to take a warped view on their experiences, and make it funny.

Naph brings observational comedy drawn from Muslim life, family expectations, cultural clashes and the everyday chaos of navigating modern Britain. Smart, relatable and packed with laughs, she has a knack for finding the funny in situations most people wouldn't dare mention.

Jackie, meanwhile, is running from what’s expected at her age - however, someone has tied her shoelaces together. A fan of the 80’s as it had the best music - and the most traumatic public information films - she’s armed with razor-sharp one-liners and clever word play – which is surprising, as she’s rubbish at crosswords.

Together, they prove that laughter really is the only coping mechanism they have —both have tried denial, snacks, and downright stubbornness (NEWSFLASH – none of these worked).

Expect some great comedy and absolutely NO life advice whatsoever.
