Hajar, Like Badger
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026
'Ultimately feelgood, Hajar, Like Badger is a lovely blend of song and autobiographical stand-up that'll lift your afternoon' (Scotsman). British-Iranian stand-up, singer and Channel 4 Secret Genius finalist Hajar J Woodland debuts a musical comedy about the voice she wasn't allowed to have. Raised in a Muslim household where singing on stage was forbidden, she became a professional singer anyway – performing for footballers and finance bros while chasing the kind of love Dawson's Creek and 90s romcoms promised her. Hajar blends stand-up, original songs and state-school nostalgia to explore faith, identity and teenage romantic idealism.
