“Your Finest Second Cheapest Wine Please”: English stand-up with Mustafa Algiyadi

Mustafa Algiyadi returns to Tallinn with a brand-new hour of stand-up about taste, status, self-image and the suspicious origins of our opinions.

Moving through class, culture and modern life, the Libyan comedian examines the forces quietly shaping our choices: social pressure, the internet, and the dangerous amount of confidence produced by spending too much time inside your own head.

His critically acclaimed debut show, Almost Legal Alien, toured 22 countries and 53 cities and sold out several shows, including a run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Mustafa has opened for Reggie Watts and Todd Barry, made The Times’s “Top Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe 2024” list, and has been covered by The Guardian, The Scotsman and The List.

Based in Germany, he hosts the English night at Munich’s Lucky Punch Comedy Club and founded the longest-running English stand-up night in the city. He trained at The Second City and has a background in improv theatre.

What the press says: “The funniest thing in the world” (Broadway Baby); “Comedic prowess” (The Voice UK); “Breath of fresh air” (The Play’s The Thing UK); “Huge presence” (Phoenix Remix); “Finest traditions of compering” (Chortle).
