Adan Abdi (Ice In My Veins) – Live in Manchester

Ice in My Veins is the latest stand-up hour from award-winning Kenyan-Somali comedian Adan Abdi, blending sharp cultural humour, personal stories, and a global perspective. With his cool, unbothered delivery, Adan turns everyday experiences into big laughs.

The show explores identity and migration, and the title is a tongue-in-cheek nod to resilience — with a light satirical reference to the realities some Somali communities, including those in places like Minnesota, navigate around immigration.

Smart, bold, and relatable, it’s a show that delivers big laughs with real-world edge — a strong fit for Manchester’s diverse comedy crowd.

Adan Abdi brings a fresh global voice to comedy — mixing culture, travel stories, and everyday life in a way that anyone can relate to. Whether you’re from Manchester, Nairobi, Minneapolis, or anywhere in between, you’ll find something that hits home.

This is a show about identity, belonging, and the funny side of navigating different worlds — told with warmth, wit, and sharp punchlines.
