Aatif Nawaz: The Last Laugh at The Newsroom (Laughing Horse

2017 marks ten years in comedy for Aatif Nawaz. In that time, he has tackled obstacle af- ter obstacle in a highly competitive and cut-throat industry. He has experienced highs and lows: hilarious interactions with Channel 4; chance meetings with comedy legends (includ- ing advice from Jimmy Carr and Omid Djalili) dalliances with the BBC, and harsh, harsh rejections from...well...a lot of people.

In his quest for comedy stardom, few stones have been left unturned and - after a long, hard graft - it’s finally time for Aatif to have The Last Laugh.
