View allAbout This Event
Samira Banks presents her work-in-progress comedy show Not Banking On It on 12 December 2026 at Monkey Barrel Comedy in Edinburgh. The performance features her signature deadpan delivery and surreal observations as she explores new material.
A stand up comedy show by Samira, known for her deadpan delivery, her devastating punchlines and the cheeky glint in her eye just before she pulls the trigger. As a daughter of refugees, with a dark sense of humour, and an often surreal and silly way of seeing the world, join Samira, winner of the prestigious So You Think You're Funny? award, as she experiments and explores in this work in progress. "Her almost timid persona contrasts perfectly with the darkness of some of her punchlines" - Clownster "Banks has ideas that are unique and interesting, and she has the talent to pull them off." - The Punchline
