Something you may not know about Imran Yusuf: Imran has some great spoof’s on YouTube. Just type in Imran Yusuf and look for the video in the turban. Brilliant!

Comedian Biog: Imran Yusuf

Imran Yusuf is renowned for his stinging, lyrical street-slang verbiage and super-high energy performance that triggers an eruption of belly-aching laughter. Fast and furious yet charmingly endearing, this is a very unique voice that has never been heard before.

[ad#co-1]

Born in Mombasa, Kenya and raised in the UK for the most part with a brief stint at school in the USA, and having travelled much of the world including Israel/Palestine, Jordan and Saudi Arabia during the Lebanon Crisis in 2006, Imran encompasses a rich multitude of cultural assets from across the planet that defines him as a youthful, energetic and original voice that embodies the cultural wealth that exists in modern Britain.

Imran seamlessly switches between styles with graceful fluidity, delivering heavy-weight punch lines repeatedly with enormous panache. A multitude of light-hearted quips and deeply meaningful satire on contemporary issues culminate into a tour de force of comedy and offer an all-embracing sentiment in his trademark styling.

“Imran Yusuf hits the stage with incredible energy and purpose. His riffs are hilarious and his choice of targets is evidence that he’s a comic that has something to say.”
Mark Breslin, CEO of Yuk Yuk’s International Stand-Up Comedy, Canada

“Imran is something I’ve never ever seen before… he almost rapped his gig… it had the rhythm of a rap. I’ve never ever, ever seen anyone’s delivery like that.”
Adam Bloom, BBC Radio 7
