AKMAL - The Life of Akmal

Comedy superstar Akmal brings his brand new show The Life Of Akmal to Geelong during April 2011.

He'll be featuring memoirs and extracts from his book release of the same name. He'll be covering topics from growing up in Egypt and migrating to Australia to being kicked out of the Coptic Orthodox Church and finding solace in his newfound religion of Comedy. There are outrageous stories of how Akmal entered the comedy world and insights into the characters he has met along the way that have influenced his career. It's a must see show.

Akmal continually displays an incredible ability to deal with hot topics in a non-offensive way which has resulted in a long line of appearances on much loved TV shows including Rove Live, The Footy Show (NSW), Spicks & Specks, Good News Week and memorable guest spots on the brilliant Thank God You're Here. He also hosted the national NOVA drive show Get This with Cal Wilson & Ed Kavalee for 2 years before resigning at the peak of his popularity to head to back to the altar of the art form he loves.

Fellow comedian Joel Ozborn, who has toured extensively with Akmal both nationally and internationally over the last two years, will join him. Together they have built a strong, dynamic chemistry onstage, which is evident in their improvised audience Q&A promising something different every night.
