AMERICAN comediennes Salma Hindy and Yasmin Elhady will be showcasing their own very brand of humour at this year's Super Muslim Comedy Tour which comes to Bolton this month.

The tour's hilarious line up also includes the UK’s very own Guz Khan from the BBC 3 series Man Like Mobeen, Citizen Khan’s Abdullah Afzal, Azeem M, British stand-up comedian Jeff Mirza, and American film and comedy star, Omar Regan.

Now in its third year, and following the success of 2017’s tour, this year the tour is visiting 11 venues across the UK.

All proceeds from the comedy tour will go towards Penny Appeal’s Education First programme, which helps to open new schools in countries around the world, giving children access to education and allowing them to build brighter futures.

The schools are all fully equipped with the relevant facilities, textbooks, stationary, libraries, desks and chairs, play equipment, and high quality, well-trained teachers.

The schools particularly benefit young girls, by equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need for independence within their communities.

This allows them to develop into strong, empowered young women with a voice within society.

Yasmin said: "Finally, an Egyptian-born Muslim woman who was raised in Kentucky gets to crack her jokes in Europe about Kenexit!

"This tour comes at a great time for the UK. With Islamophobia on the rise, it’s nice to be part of a positive message. Penny Appeal does some incredible work, and it’s amazing to think that we can have fun together while being there for children who so desperately need our help."

Penny Appeal CEO, Aamer Naeem, said: "This year is expected to be even better than last year, with performances in 11 cities, and two amazingly funny women headlining the show alongside some very talented and funny men.

"It will be a unique opportunity for families and communities to come together and have a hilarious evening whilst helping launch a new campaign to help forgotten children who desperately need interventions.

"The support we have received from the general public and all of the artists involved has been overwhelming. Tickets have only recently gone on sale and some venues are already 50 per cent sold out! It’s sure to be the highlight of the year!"

The show will take to the stage at Bolton Excellency in Carlton Street, Bolton, on October 29.

Tickets start at £10 each.
