Isma has three children of her own, the youngest of whom is adopted.

'A natural at teasing out the underlying humour from real-life stories' (Chortle.co.uk). 'One of the most original and charming circuit comedians' (BroadwayBaby.com). 'A one-woman antidote to Islamophobia' (Leeds Guide). 'An engaging character that's mumsy and mischievous at the same time.' (Skinny).
