2020 BGT Finalist, Comedian Nabil Abdulrashid Announces 2021 UK Tour

Following his performance in the final of Britain's Got Talent 2020 Nabil Abdulrashid will be touring his brand-new stand-up show across the UK in 2021.

From growing up under military rule in northern Nigeria to falling into legal trouble as a teenager in south London, join Nabil as he recollects the remarkable, chaotic and sometimes tragic (but always hilarious) story of his life so far.

In this night of stand-up, Nabil charts his journey from humble beginnings (and middles) to one of UK comedy's most talked about rising stars.

Before receiving the much-coveted Golden Buzzer from Alesha Dixon and reaching the final of BGT, Nabil had already carved out a unique, exciting and varied career in UK and international comedy. Within a year of starting to perform, he had already written, starred in and directed his own sketch show on Channel U. As joint winner of the Which Religion Is Funniest? Competition (judged by Omid Djalili and David Baddiel) he won the opportunity to perform at London's prestigious Hammersmith Apollo, thus becoming the youngest ever black stand-up to do so. Nabil was also a Finalist in the renowned New Act Of The Year and Laughing Horse Stand-up Comedy competitions and won Joe.co.uk's TV Comedian of the Year Award 2020.

Nabil's hilarious takes on global politics and multicultural society as well as his incorporation of multiple languages within his stand-up has also seen him build an international following, performing sold-out shows in Tanzania, South Africa, Dubai (headlining the Dubai National Opera's first ever stand-up show), Holland, Austria and Belgium. Nabil has also toured the UK with his show BRAP (Black Racist And Proud).

He is highly valued as a cultural and social commentator, having featured on Channel 4, ITV News, Al Jazeera English and British Muslim TV to discuss race, religion and social justice. He was also a key contributor to the BAFTA Award-winning documentary Muslims Like Us (BBC2).

Nabil co-hosts his own podcast, I Am Not Your Bilal, which is available to stream on Spotify.
