Isma Almas

Bradford-born and with a childhood split between Pakistan and Yorkshire, Isma's comedy is fused by her unique take on life as a British Muslim woman.

Isma is a regular on the comedy circuit across the UK, and has performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, at London’s Barbican Centre for Stonewall, at Bradford’s Literature Festival and on a raucous luxury gay cruise around the Med.

As well as winning The First Laugh at Sheffield Comedy Festival, Isma was a semi-finalist in So You Think You’re Funny and made it to the final of Funny Women. She spent six months co-presenting the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Leeds, where she interviewed a number of famous names.

A much-needed voice in comedy today, audiences love Isma’s friendly, Bradford-infused, preconception-shattering style. Isma is a regular face on the BBC Asian Network and has appeared on Richard Herring’s Leicester Sq Podcast, Drunk Women Solving Crime, Happy Mummy, Happy Baby and more.
