Janine Harouni, a UK-based Lebanese-American comedian, has been hailed as 'ready for her Netflix special' by The Times. Her debut Edinburgh hour, 'Stand Up with Janine Harouni (Please Remain Seated)', earned her critical acclaim with a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe and led onto an Amazon Prime special. Her follow-up, 'Man'oushe', premiered at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and is now embarking on a world tour.

Not just confined to the stage, Janine has appeared in ITV2's sitcom Buffering and even had a small role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman.

In this episode we discuss touring and promoting a show as a new mum, delve into struggling with PTSD after a serious car accident and performing heartfelt material in difficult rooms.
