'When I started there were no Asian women in comedy'
Shazia Mirza is a ground breaking comedienne. She was the first British Asian woman to go into stand up comedy.
Since then, she's toured successful comedy shows like 'The Kardashians Made Me Do It', 'With Love From St Tropez', and her most recent production 'Coconut', which was nominated for best stand-up tour at Channel 4’s National Comedy Awards.
She's also been on television shows like Celebrity Masterchef.
And she's in Leicester soon, headlining the bill for the 'Asian Occasion' comedy show on 21st December at the 'Big Difference'.
Shruti Chauhan has been talking to Shazia, and they began by talking about food.
