 COMEDIAN ASLI AKBAY Click for Upcoming Gigs Nice things people have said: 'Highly promising' London Is Funny 'Delightful' Amused Moose Comedy 'One to watch out for” StarNow 'Great story teller' Martin Besserman - Monkey Business ‘A natural comedienne' – James Everett - The Porthole 'One of the UK’s hottest up and coming Female stand up comedians' Asian D8 Events “Asli has a great ability to make an audience laugh to her whim, even when the subject matter can be a little shocking'. Hyde Panasar - HumiliAsian 'I was really impressed by Asli
Akbay, a self assured Turkish girl with shed loads of attitude' (she’s outrageous!) but she
still did well' Adam Preston - A&E Comedy 'Asli has a breathless, manic energy mixed with great observational eyes and ears for the minutiae of life, creating storms-in-teacups by treating the ordinary like the most exceptional things in the world' Nathanial Metcalfe - Tombola of Fun Among several women who’d reached this stage of the competition Asli Akbay stood out for me. There’s a difficult balance for women comics to strike between ignoring the fact that stand-up is still fairly uncharted territory for women, relatively speaking, and making it the centre of your act; and she got it just right. The confidence of her delivery and the cheeriness of her style stand her in good stead’. Laura Morgan 'You're the best female comic I've ever seen' Random Punter at a Mirth Control Bath Gig.
