Tickets for the newly announced tour extension dates are on general sale now, at offthekerb.com and fatihaelghorri.co.uk . The tour will also feature five clean, family-friendly (12+) matinee performances of the show, with no swearing or themes of an adult nature.

El-Ghorri will also be making her debut performances at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with a two-week run of ‘Cockney Stacking Doll’ at Monkey Barrel’s MB4, 3.35pm each day from Monday 17th – Sunday 30th August 2026.

On taking her first-ever tour show out across the UK this year, El-Ghorri said: “Nothing to see here, just little ol’ me going on TOUR! When I first started doing comedy, I really never thought this would be on the cards. The fact I’m heading out on my first ever stand-up tour around the UK is absolutely wild, really exciting and (I won’t lie) – a little bit scary! I’ve got so much to tell you – I can’t wait.”

Fatiha El-Ghorri is an award-winning Hackney-born comedian, actor and writer whose sharp, witty observations challenge stereotypes with humour rooted in her experiences as a British muslim hijabi woman, offering a fresh and fearless voice on stage.

On television, El-Ghorri is known as a breakout star of series 19 of Taskmaster (C4), also acting in two series of the BAFTA-winning Mr Bigstuff (Sky), as well as appearances on Live at The Apollo (BBC Two), QI (BBC Two), The Last Leg (C4), The Jonathan Ross Show (ITV), Cats Does Countdown (C4), Silence Is Golden (U&Dave), The Russell Howard Hour (Sky), Big Zuu’s Big Eats (U&Dave), Outsiders (U&Dave), The Wheel (BBC One), Guessable ( Comedy Central ), The Weakest Link (BBC One), Mel Giedroyc : Unforgivable (U&Dave), Out Of Order ( Comedy Central ), Richard Osman’s House Of Games (BBC Two) and as Head Judge on the 2025 BBC New Comedy Awards (BBC Three).

She recently joined the cast of the third series of BBC comedy Boarders, starring as the formidable headmistress of a rival school, Mrs El-Fassi. She has also written and starred in her own Comedy Short for the BBC, Donkey, which was recently nominated for a BAFTA.

Earlier this year, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds aired a new pilot from El-Ghorri titled A Match Made Inshallah, a show where the 44-year-old, twice-divorced stand-up comedian is looking for love and ready to date, with the audience as her wingman.

El-Ghorri has performed at the Royal Albert Hall and the London Palladium alongside Lenny Henry for Comic Relief, and won the Best Debut Show award at the 2023 Leicester Comedy Festival for her Work In Progress of ‘Cockney Stacking Doll’. Her debut novel, The Perks of My Hijab, is to be published by Simon & Schuster Children’s Books in early 2027.
