The producers of the hit film East is East, Tamasha, premiered its first comedy double-bill at the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival last night.
First on stage is Nimmi Harasgama who plays the Sri Lankan born internet sensation Auntie Netta: a bawdy asylum seeker with crazy hair and a very strange taste in clothes.

First on stage is Nimmi Harasgama who plays the Sri Lankan born internet sensation Auntie Netta: a bawdy asylum seeker with crazy hair and a very strange taste in clothes.
She invites the audience into her home, treats them to pakoras and sweets and regales them with stories about her unique take on the British and “the U of the K”, including the wonders of Hadrian’s Wall and the mysteries of Venezuelan bikini waxes.
Her words are endearing, touching and hilarious.
What could follow such a class act? Divan Ladwa’s fantastic performance in the second part of the evening in The Trouble With Asian Men. Created entirely from interviews with members of the public, the spectators are made privy to the inner workings of the British Asian man.
