LONDON, I’M COMING!
I’m Nadia P Manzoor - writer, actor, comedian, and truth-teller. I make work that digs into the places we’re told to keep quiet: family and dysfunction, grief and healing, faith and identity, the messy contradictions of being alive.
After committing the ultimate career crime — having a baby — I’m finally back on stage, in London! My debut comedy special dives headfirst into the messy, magical chaos of modern life: from juggling cultural expectations and family drama to surviving sleepless nights and toddler tantrums. It’s an unfiltered, laugh-out-loud look at motherhood, womanhood, and the absolute nonsense of trying to “have it all”.
Directed by Sarna Lapine (Call Me Izzy & Sunday in the Park With George)

“I don’t make work to be polite. I make it because silence nearly killed me.”
Motherhood isn’t a side-note, it’s the furnace. It cracked me open, wrecked me, rebuilt me, and now it fuels everything I make.
My art lives where contradictions collide: funny and devastating, holy and filthy, defiant and tender.
My first solo show, Burq Off!, sold out internationally — from London to New York, Los Angeles to San Francisco, Seoul to Vancouver — and became a global sensation because it wasn’t safe. It ripped open conversations about identity, family, religion, and shame.
Now I’m back with Jerk Off, the sequel to Burq Off! — more dangerous and more intimate. It’s about grief, cycles of abuse, family dysfunction, and the freedom that comes when you stop pretending. Tender and devastating, yes. But also it’s really funny.
And alongside my plays, I’m writing and performing a new comedy special — tearing apart the myths of motherhood, marriage, and gender. Ripping into the scripts we were handed, and rewriting them with chaos, laughter, and honesty. I’m not here to be safe. I’m here to crack something open.
