Ziwe is an American comedian and writer known for her satirical commentary on politics, race relations and young adulthood. As host of A24 late night variety sketch show and with a world wide audience via the internet, this is a sold out three night only show, at the Pleasance One. Ziwe’s strong fan base are in the building!

We hear the inside scoop on interviews she has conducted. Via a big screen we see the show’s funny reaction photos and a series of paparazzi shots of Ziwe. The audience are enthralled and want more.

There is some clever audience participation where audience members are encouraged to volunteer to debate various hot topics.

Ziwe’s audience of mainly gen Z are ripe for a lot of references to pop culture, politics and hot topic internet jokes.

On closing, Ziwe summarises everything that we have learned from the show and why she should be President!

The loose format really works, and given the level of audience participation, could be quite a different show each night. The show is expertly helmed and handled with much charm and charisma by Ziwe.
