Aarian Mehrabani: How's Your Head?

Aarian is a triple threat. Brown, Blind and Bi... too many protected characteristics?

Aarian is a triple threat. Brown, blind and bi. Arguably already too many things to talk about in a debut stand-up hour. Then 2024 came, and he only had to go and get f**king brain cancer. The highly anticipated debut stand-up show from the multi-award-winning writer of the 2023 Fringe hit It’s a Motherf**king Pleasure. 

Commission by Lowry as part of the 'Developed With' programme.


Extant in partnership with Underbelly – presents Enhance.

Visually impaired access has been created for this show post-production, devised by an Extant visually impaired facilitator. This is not audio description, but instead an ‘enhanced’ way of providing access that has been tried and tested by Extant.

We invite visually impaired audiences to come along and experience the programme notes and touch tour before the show. The notes encapsulate the visual aspects of the show and are written with access for visually impaired audiences at the core. The Touch Tour offers exploration of set, props and costume: offering an immersive space in which to imagine the work before the show begins.

‘Very descriptive and it allowed me to create a visual picture in my head.’

Extant Enhance 2023-26 is funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Arts Council England.

The tour starts 1 hour before the performance. Booking is required: please select this ticket type to attend both the show and touch tour.
