Love From St Tropez.

A show about lies and truth (or is that the same thing?), nudity and the
periodic table, these things hold the key to the future. How much do you wear?
What do you look like, and will they let you in? Oh, and don't you dare wear
more than dental floss on a French beach.
The Kardashians Made Me Do It explored politically
correct liberalism, the intrusion of ISIS into young British lives and Jihadi
brides and enjoyed four sell-out runs in London as well as the US, Sweden and
Paris. This brand new show is about
lies, lies and more lies. The truth is so 1980's.
Shazia was recently seen back to absolute basics in
Channel 4’s Celebrity Island with Bear
Grylls, and earlier this year she took a speedy turn (2.07 seconds to be
exact) in BBC2’s Top Gear’s ‘A Star in a Reasonably Priced Car ‘ segment.
She recently guested on ITV’s Jonathan
Ross and Loose Women and she is a
regular panellist on Channel 5’s The
Wright Stuff. Other TV credits include Have
I Got News For You (BBC), F*** Off,
I'm a Hairy Woman (BBC), NBC's Last
Comic Standing, Beautiful People
(BBC2), The World Stands Up (Paramount
Comedy) and The Late Late Show (RTE). She has also appeared on BBC Radio 2’s
Graham Norton show, Radio 4’s The Now
Show , and her Pause For Thoughts can
often been heard on Radio 2’s Vanessa
Feltz Show.

In 2008 she was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy, won 'Columnist of the Year’ at the
prestigious PPA Awards for her fortnightly column in The New Statesman and won The
GG2 Young Achiever of the Year Award. She has performed internationally all
over the world and is a regular contributor to The Financial Times and writes her weekly column 'Dairy of a Disappointing Daughter’ for The Guardian.
