Zainab Johnson: Toxically Optimistic
Is it possible to be toxically optimistic? Zainab Johnson thinks so. Following her hit stand-up special Hijabs Off (Amazon Prime) and a sold-out run at Soho Theatre in London, Zainab's debut at this year's Edinburgh Fringe explores being charitable on dates, owning a gun but refusing to kill and a surprising friendship with a wild animal. 'Charisma and charm personified' **** (Chortle.co.uk). **** (Times). ***** (BroadwayWorld.com).

Pew Pew! It was the last 20 minutes for me! I mean the whole show was top tier but the last 20 minutes, boy oh boy, what an emotional journey! Had me in stitches.
