#NotAllMen is the new solo show from Esther Manito (So You Think You're Funny Finalist, As Heard on Radio 4Xtra, Author Don't Panic I'm Islamic). Esther is a British Arab with a brilliant dad and a husband who is her rock. However, Esther grew up in the nineties during the peak of lad culture and images of angry Arab men dominated the screen, none of which matched the Arab men she knew and loved-so is there any truth in it!?! What was Esther supposed to look for in a boyfriend??? What should a man be like? Her Arab dad was adamant that his daughters should be feminists (a dirty word in the 90s)&! But Arab men are aggressors right? Geezers are real men right? WHAT THE HELL SHOULD ESTHER LOOK FOR IN HER FUTURE MAN? Esther takes you back on her navigation of being a mixed race teen and gender politics. Esther has opened for Jason Mansford, Shappi Korsandi, Alan Davies and Sindhu Vee. Finalist of So You Think You're Funny, Bath Comedian of the year, Sussex New Comedian and BBC new comedian nomaniee 2016-19.
