Urooj Ashfaq’s 'How to Be a Baddie': Funny, familiar, and not quite fearless

Indian stand-up comedian Urooj Ashfaq returns with How to Be a Baddie, a follow-up to her acclaimed 2023 debut show that made her the first Indian comic to win the Best Newcomer award at the Edinburgh Fringe. After previously performing extensively across the UK and further Fringe runs, she returns with a month long UK tour throughout November. The rising star follows up her biggest London engagement at Soho Theatre, until November 15, with shows across the UK, which promise edge, irreverence, and rebellion.

The show is built around a clever conceit: a critic once accused her of not being ‘edgy enough’, and this is her tongue-in-cheek attempt to prove them wrong. She dives headfirst into taboo territory — sex, erotica, beating children, religion, even haemorrhoids — tackling each with her trademark candour and charm. There’s a particularly funny section about dark romance fan fiction inspired by One Direction, complete with hilarious impressions of Harry Styles and Zayn Malik, that captures her mix of sharp observation and silly joy.
