Borrowing form the same keen observational skill that has guided his success as a stand-up comedian, George Azmy selects subjects as varied as the day-to-day bureaucracies of a city to the most intimate details of a young man's life. Throughout his exploration of these subjects, Azmy infuses a sense of dark humour and deep insights that prove endlessly compelling.
