My Mum Told Me Not To Marry A [ ]
August 1 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
£5
When Kamal sends her ‘friend', known only as The Boy, to Pakistan to impress Dadi by pretending to be ‘the perfect girl,’ chaos quickly follows.
A comedy-drama about Dadi, a sharp-tongued radio host and DJ who navigates love, marriage, and a lifetime of being an intergenerational trouble-maker with her granddaughter Kamal.
Through jokes, jingles, and relentless interrogations, Dadi begins to uncover what’s truly at stake: her relationship with Kamal, the secrecy that has grown between them, and the simple truth that perfection is impossible.
Blending theatrical storytelling with DJing, radio, and optional audience interaction.
A heartfelt and playful exploration of family, relationships, and the roles we’re asked to perform.
This show is part of Khushi Festival 2026 and is supported by Contact Theatre.
