Bobak Champion – I’m Muslamic, Don’t Panik

WHEN: 09/10/2025

WHERE: The Basement, Helston Gateway

SHOW STARTS: 7:00 pm

COST: Supporter £19, Standard £14, Supported £10, Under 25s Free

ACCESS INFORMATION: Wheelchair accessible entrance, fire exits and toilets. Designated accessible parking spaces.

A hilarious and heart-felt story of one man’s journey to Iran to discover his cultural heritage.

Featuring a captivating mixture of live music, spoken word, break-dancing and comedy.

Join Bobak on his journey of self-discovery as he meets a whole cast of weird and wonderful characters – from women defiantly running the first (and last) ever Tehran marathon, to stumbling into an underground breakdance battle.

Whilst the media frequently portray the Middle East as a frightening and dangerous place, Bobak shows us the positivity, joy, family and community that we rarely get to see. This is a beautiful story that will have you laughing-out-loud and leave you feeling full of hope.

After the show, enjoy a chat with your neighbours and the artists as we serve traditional Persian tea and date biscuits called Kolompeh. Everyone is welcome.

“…so warm hearted that it is impossible not to enjoy.” The Guardian ★★★★

“So full of heart, it’s brimming over” The Scotsman ★★★★
