Adnan Al-Adhami performs his debut stand-up show, 'The World's Worst Arab', at Nørrebro Teater in Copenhagen on January 30, 2027. The show is a satirical and deeply personal account of his life — from singing 'Happy Birthday' to Saddam Hussein on Iraqi national television as a child in Baghdad, to growing up in Viborg, Denmark, and gradually losing touch with his Arab heritage and mother tongue.
With disarming honesty and sharp humour, Adnan reflects on the tension between assimilation and identity, turning the microphone on himself after years of challenging others in the public eye. The performance promises both emotional resonance and genuine laughs.
Adnan Al-Adhami is widely known for his biting social satire on DR P3, where he has built a reputation for asking brilliantly awkward questions of Denmark's decision-makers. 'The World's Worst Arab' marks his first major solo stand-up venture.
The show is presented by All Things Live.
