As an anaesthetist, Anissa Loucif knows how to put people to sleep. With her comedy, she proves she can do the exact opposite: tell galvanizing stories from the perspective of a Muslim woman, a doctor, and a mother in a way that only life in Berlin can inspire. In her first full-length solo programme, Mach nicht so auf teuer (Don’t act so high and mighty), Loucif brings the best of her scathingly on-point punchlines to the stage—including plenty of self-deprecating humour. Tackling everything from culture clash to the experiences of the Muslim diaspora to motherhood, she does so in a way that has the audience in stitches (no anaesthesia required).
