Isma Almas: About a Buoy – Adventures in Adoption

Isma has three children of her own, the youngest of whom is adopted. In About a Buoy, her friendly, Bradford-infused, preconception-shattering style allows her to explore the realities of transracial adoption whilst taking the scenic routes of gender, religion, sexuality, race, one homophobic Muslim mother and Freddie Mercury. 'A natural at teasing out the underlying humour from real-life stories' (Chortle.co.uk). 'One of the most original and charming circuit comedians' (BroadwayBaby.com). 'A one-woman antidote to Islamophobia' (Leeds Guide). 'An engaging character that's mumsy and mischievous at the same time.' (Skinny).
