About Mustafa:
Mustafa is the co-founder of Munich’s first weekly and longest-running English Stand-Up Comedy Club. He has a rich background in improv theater, trained at the renowned Second City in Chicago, which adds a unique spontaneity to his performances. Mustafa’s humor spans from the silliest to the darkest, all delivered with a semi-intellectual flair that adds to the severe imposter syndrome he has.

Mustafa previewed "Almost Legal Alien" in London at the Museum of Comedy, further establishing his presence on the international comedy circuit. He has given tour support to comedy legends like Reggie Watts and Todd Barry, and he runs the English night at the comedy club of Germany’s acclaimed comedian, Michael Mittermeier. In 2023, Mustafa performed to over 12,600 people across Europe.

His recent debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024 was a resounding success, with 25 performances that earned him a spot in the critically acclaimed "Top Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe 2024" as featured in The Times and Edinburgh Evening News. He has also been featured in The Guardian, Sunday Post, and The Scotsman, and was highlighted as one of the top debuts to watch at the Edinburgh Fringe by The List UKand Edinburgh Evening News.
