Comedian Shazia Mirza lights up Wirksworth Festival


She will be among the highlights of this year’s Wirksworth Festival and performs at the town hall on Thursday, September 22.
Shazia’s presentation, entitled The Kardashians Made Me Do It, is an exploration of life, love and Jihadi brides. Her creation is inspired by three girls who left Bethnal Green to join ISIS, and an unrelated radio piece Shazia contributed to the BBC which subsequently received a record number of complaints.
