What's س ?

Pronounced ‘’scene’’ or ‘’seen’’, encapsulates the spirit of unity, belonging, and creative expression. This dynamic gathering serves as a platform where individuals from unique backgrounds can share their stories, art, traditions, and passions with a like-minded and appreciative community.

For their first event, Two Chickpeas in a Podcast were invited to host a live podcast exploring our relationship with our South Asian heritage and the many stories and experiences that have made up the South Asian Diaspora in the UK today.

This episode is very special and was recorded in a room full of people with love, forming new connections and a safe space to share our stories, be vulnerable and feel part of a community where we feel SEEN.

Yes we are back, 2024, and kicking it off with UROOJ ASHFAQ!

@SohoTheatre

 

Born in Dubai, Urooj moved to Mumbai at the age of 12. She started performing at open-mic nights at 21, becoming a regular in Mumbai’s young, rapidly-growing comedy scene, while citing stars like Sarah Silverman, Bridget Christie, Phoebe Waller Bridge, Josie Long and James Acaster as her creative heroes. Owing to her boundary-pushing humour and disarming charm she notched up some serious views and a loyal and growing fan base on home turf, as well as second finalist spot on TLC’s Queens of Comedy (2017).

 

Aside from her stand-up performances, Urooj enjoys credits as a writer on numerous fiction and non-fiction projects such as Die Trying (2018), Son Of Abish (2017) and Better Life Foundation (2016). Having an in-built knack for acting, she has also featured in web series such as AIB: Honest Engineering Campus Placements (2017), Die Trying (2018), Pushpavalli (2020) and Comedy Premier League (2021) and also hosted Comicstaan Series 2 (2019).

 

In a noteworthy first, the 28 year-old was the first ever India-based stand-up comedian to be awarded Best Newcomer Award at the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival for her second full-length show in English, Oh No!, backed by Soho Theatre and OML in India. In the show she introduces her personality and life in India, taking audiences through her anecdotes on therapy, her thoughts on pornography and phone etiquette, to the ways boys suppress emotions and childhood issues. With material strong on Gen Z energy, the fast-talking, quick-thinking creative powerhouse is an endearing presence onstage with her candid and engaging content.



Urooj is on tour in the UK from 23rd January to 8th February 2024. Tickets are available on https://sohotheatre.com/

A long awaited episode and a personal favourite for the Two Chickpeas brings you Parle Patel AKA Planet Parle. The Chickpeas sit down to discuss with the Garba King himself what Garba means, what Navratri means and why it is celebrated in Hinduism and the Hindu Culture.



As well as being a comedic, social media personality and content creator, Parle also gives us an insight into designing his first collection for House of Ruhi, the reason for the brand, their ethos and aims to bring people the comfort and joy of wearing such fabrics during this Navratri season.
