Comedy at Curve No Direction Home by Counterpoint Arts

About

Selam Amare, Loraine Mponela and Anastasia Chokuwamba have performed with No Direction Home at gigs across the country including at London’s Soho Theatre and Southbank Centre, appearing with guest headliners such as Rob Delany, Fatiha El-Ghorri and Romesh Ranganathan. Loraine and Anastasia are both based in Coventry. They bring humour to their insights into the asylum system, and fresh takes on life in the UK. Loraine is also a poet – her second collection, Now I Sing, was published in 2023. Selam is a comedy performer and producer based in London who runs her own regular nights, Azmari Bet, bringing together Ethiopian and Eritrean performers across music, poetry and stand-up. Counterpoints Arts runs No Direction Home comedy workshops and performances as part of their PopChange programme, a pioneering initiative exploring how the power of pop culture can be harnessed for social change in order to shift the way we talk, think and feel about migration and displacement.
