H4tQ XXXI
It's back to school week and we had fun learning why wasps are cool, which Robbie Williams song is best to play at a wake and why Freddie was a Grade A ****!

History was made at The Comedy Café on Friday night! 🥳🎉🪅🎊🌟✨️🙌🎤❤️

Had to repost - as Instagram cut off Mohaimen in the cover photo and we couldn't have that!

Another smash hit in the books! 🎉

Huge thank you to everyone who came out for our @thecomedycafebfd x @desipartynights takeover — what an atmosphere! 🎉

Big love to every act on that stage — you all absolutely smashed it and showed why this scene is so special ❤️

Showcasing the best minority talent from across the country is exactly what this is all about ✨️

And a massive shoutout to the one and only @tezilyas 🙌

Having him headline our show was a genuinely proud moment for us.

Tez isn't just a headliner — he's an icon for minority representation, and honestly, one of the reasons we got into comedy in the first place 🙌❤️🎤

Thank you to everyone who came, danced, and made the night what it was.

The Comedy Café Bradford keeps growing because of you.

To witness unity in the Muslim and wider comedy community is something truly special and long may it continue.
