Headline act
Don Biswas
Don Biswas is one of the gems of the circuit. A politically charged gag
merchant who likes to cover a wide range of subjects including his Asian
upbringing, his neurodiversity as someone with dyspraxia, ADHD, and ASD and
even the most important of topics conspiracy theories. Don has gained huge
admiration off all corners of the circuit.
Don is now a regular face in comedy clubs across the UK. Alongside that Don

has appeared on Radio 4s 13 Million Club, Rosie Joness Boxticker as well as
UKTV Digitals Rosie Joness Disabled Comedy Extravaganza and BBC Onlines

His unique style has seen him support John Williams on tour, perform in the
USA (Silicon Valley & New York) & Switzerland.
Don Biswas is a unique performer who boldly takes to the stage despite
suffering from, Aspergers syndrome and Dyspraxia. A phenomenal gag teller
with an engaging stage persona, Don Biswas shows all the signs of a truly
great comic - Broadway Baby
His fresh takes on current affairs are consistently hilarious. This will be
the first time many audience members would have laughed with, and not at, a
conspiracy theorist. at more solemn moments, his sincerity cuts through the
jovial atmosphere to reveal a great intellect, and an ability to correctly
and resonantly sum up a certain political reality. clever, funny and insane.
- Hecklers Comedy Club
Don Biswas put more emphasis on slick one-liners, which made much of his
Aspergers and Asian background - London is Funny
By the quality of his jokes alone, including a choice one about a corporate
gig for the DWP, Biswas is the shows star turn. - Hecklers Comedy Club
