SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Nobody tells you the rules. Not the spoken ones. The unwritten ones.
In this hilarious and heartfelt one-man show, Akah Nnani navigates cultural collisions, embarrassing mistakes, and life-changing revelations in a world nobody could have prepared him for. Part comedy. Part confession. Part survival guide. Whether you've crossed continents, started over, or simply found yourself in a room where nobody seemed to speak your language — this show is for you. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll recognise yourself.
TOUR DATES:
Following London, the show transfers to The Lantern Theatre, Sheffield (31 July & 1 August), Salford Arts Theatre, Manchester (14 August), and returns to Sheffield for an 8-performance premiere at Utopia Theatre in November 2026.
