Shappi Khorsandi endured exile, OCD, racial slurs and death threats on his family. And it continues to flow into his standup
is just the latest Iranian comedian Shappi Khorsandi Edinburgh show is a tribute to family relationships - including Peyvand his older brother, who supported a divorce, "began with an open heart. "For it was at the heart of his family, which began in Ealing Iran before the 1979 revolution, which was wrought the desire to be standing.
"During the time I lived," she says, "I wanted to entertain adults. My father was very busy, as was our mother. It was very difficult to get their attention, because there was a sea of ??friends who are like family, and there really was a head-to "What is my child? "Today if you asked him what his daughter does for a living, you could say it's a yo-yo champion. So how to get your attention was laughing, and his friends laugh, and when he was very proud of me. We had to be some of the players. "
She was 10 when he decided to become an actor. His thing, he says, sipping tea and eating strawberries in their rented apartment in Edinburgh, has worked: his father is now "very proud" of her daughter, who after struggling to make his mark as an actor in 20 years success in his approach was 30. And now, at age 38, she is a favorite of Edinburgh and a regular on radio and television comedy shows such as 4 Live at the Apollo and Have I News for You. His father did not read his memoir of a childhood uprooted, a beginner's guide to action in English, but only, he says, because he could not cry for the first two pages.
There is a suspicion, however, other emotions, too sweet to be called discontent - a certain amok, perhaps. "Although my father is so proud of me, there is a sense in this kind of wishes he was my brother," he said. Peyvand is a journalist, and he does it standing. "I talk about this in the show, all the dreams and hopes are centered on the first child to joke that while all this was happening Peyvand hassle, I was sitting in a bucket of my own shit to chew a little . Over points. "
Child Khorsandi was truly spectacular in every sense. His father - a satirist who wrote for newspapers during the Shah of Iran, who often clashes with censorship - the family moved to London in the 1970s. Initially welcomed the revolution, returned to Iran, while the family remained in Britain, only to incur the wrath of the repressive regime of Ayatollah again. He managed to return to Britain, but was pursued not by death threats. Khorsandi speaks casually pick up the phone at home as a child listening to the person threatening to kill his father, who treated everyone with "black humor"
"This is our family moved a lot," she said. "We were afraid that became a kind of fantasy I'm really scared curse my brother was going to die .. But strangely, I ' I felt that my father could take care of yourself As a result, I became heavily OCD but I have never had any treatment .. then, or spoke at all. "
His OCD is manifested in "the food problem," she said, and followed by his dog at the age of 20 years. "I was stumbling in the dark," he says of his early years in the comedy circuit, "five minutes to do the same game for years." He says it's no coincidence that his career took off after managing to put those ghosts to rest. She feels now that he has lost time with much more to do. "I just scratched the surface"
Despite the ongoing recovery of women and BD territory traditionally male chauvinist stand, it still feels like a political act to make jokes about Khorsandi family and children. She is aware of the danger: "If a man makes jokes about his children, the idea is that it just happened to choose the subject of many different options if a woman does it, people think I have nothing left. to talk about. But the fact is that having children is a big deal. It makes you a lioness. I think in a wonderful adventure and terrible. "She says she is a feminist in much the same way an atheist" Anyway, it's something I've thought a lot about, but that only comes through education. "" / Aa>
