English Stand Up Comedy • Almost Legal Alien • Zurich

Mustafa Algiyadi, a standup comedian based in Munich, brings his eclectic humor to the stage as he hilariously navigates the cultural clashes between his Libyan Arab roots and European life. The show dissects everything from bad habits and religion to meditation and coming of age tales with velvet sofas, all delivered with a semi-intellectual flair that adds to the severe imposter syndrome he has.

This show is perfect for anyone who has ever felt alienated, whether you’re an expat trying to fit in, a local curious about the intersection of cultures, or just looking for a fun night out.
