Jebreen Ahmed — Live Stand-Up Comedy at Pomme
Jebreen Ahmed — Live Stand-Up Comedy at Pomme
Angkor Comedy Club brings Welsh stand-up Jebreen Ahmed to Pomme for one night only — a proper touring comic in a small Siem Reap room, which is not something the city gets often.
Ahmed comes straight from the Bangkok circuit, where he is a weekly headliner at the Khaosan Comedy Club, and he played his debut solo show in London last year. He has spent seventeen years living across Asia, and the material reflects it: sharp British wit, tightly constructed storytelling, and a habit of finding the absurd connection between things that have no business being connected. He is, reliably, the punchline of his own stories.
The night is hosted by a resident of Angkor Comedy Club, Siem Reap’s own stand-up outfit, who run comedy nights around town and are steadily building a real scene here.
The venue is Pomme, the brewhouse and kitchen on Sala Kamreuk Road on the south side of town near Wat Damnak — craft beer, a decent kitchen, and a room that suits comedy: small enough that the comic can see you, which is rather the point.
Doors and drinks from earlier; the show starts at 8:00pm on Tuesday 14 July. Get there early — this is a one-off, the room is not big, and touring headliners in Siem Reap fill up fast.
