Shazia Mirza's distinctive act combines a deadpan delivery with observation on her world. Shazia is in certain respects a revolutionary figure being the UK's first female Muslim stand up, a job which many in her culture would frown upon. This enables her to have a unique perspective as a British Muslim with her material crossing both cultures. Supported by many in her culture Shazia has previously won the award of 'Young Achiever Of The Year' at the Government's initiative for the Asian community, The Leadership & Diversity Awards.
