Biog Excerpt:

Imran Yusuf is renowned for his stinging, lyrical street-slang verbiage and super-high energy performance. Fast and furious yet charmingly endearing, his is a unique voice on the Comedy Circuit.

Born in Mombasa, Kenya and raised in the UK with a brief stint at school in the USA, Imran has travelled much of the world including Israel/Palestine, Jordan and Saudi Arabia during the Lebanon Crisis in 2006. His work has been inspired by this rich multicultural background, giving him a youthful, energetic and highly original voice that embodies the multi-cultural wealth that exists in modern Britain.

He seamlessly switches between styles with graceful fluidity, repeatedly delivering heavy-weight punch lines with enormous panache. His seemingly light-hearted satire is mixed with hard-hitting topical commentary on contemporary issues that culminate into a tour de force of comedy offering an all-embracing sentiment in his trademark styling.

George Michael’s Mental Anguish Discussed by John Ryan

So, George Michael received an 8 week sentence. We can joke about him singing ‘Freedom’ or ‘Lets go Outside’ but let’s face it he has lost his liberty and if he is lucky might get to go outside for short periods when he isn’t on a lock down. How will prison affect his mental health? The reality is that even with the right support he will have a tough time coping with being away from family, friends and the comforts of home. Anxiety and depression are a prisoner’s bedmates and the long term effects are the sort of things that Comedian john Ryan talks about in his shows ‘Cracking Up’ and ‘Beyond Prison’.

Invite John Ryan to discuss this issue by contacting:
