Salma Habib Lyons: Work In Progress

Salma is a Brit Pakistani stand-up comedian from a working-class background, known for blending sharp political witty commentary with personal stories drawn from her formidable Pakistani mother and Irish family. Laugh & explore how the core of our funny lives are the great and awful humans who make us—especially the ones who tried to raise you! With sass, heart, and well-aimed political punches, her material is both fearless and refreshingly original.
In just two years on the circuit, she’s already making waves as a 2025 finalist in West End New Women Comedy, and a semi-finalist in So You Think You’re Funny, Komedia New Comedian, and Spirit of Comedy. A 2024 Soho Theatre Labs alum, Salma is quickly becoming a standout voice on the UK comedy scene.
