Avalon Edinburgh Preview: Ahir Shar and Cecily Hitchcock
Two top comedians preview their latest work ahead of the Edinburgh Festival.
Ahir Shah
2023 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Ahir Shah is one of the fastest-rising comedians of his generation and is known for his sharp, intellectual brand of stand-up featuring a blend of philosophical inquiry, political vigour, and sweet gags.

Ahir’s latest stand up show Ends was Ahir’s most successful show to date, winning the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show in 2023. The show completely sold out in Edinburgh, adding extra shows, and subsequently sold out five weeks at London’s Soho Theatre and two shows at the iconic Royal Court Theatre London, as well as performances in Los Angeles as part of the Netflix is a Joke Festival. The show was filmed as a special which was released in September 2024 on Netflix worldwide, returned for a further sold out run at Edinburgh 2024, and will tour the UK in spring 2025.
