Brandon Ash-Mohammed
The Reclusive Chanteuse
“My idea is a one-person show based on my life that explores the breakdown I had 6 years ago that caused me to stop performing. It’s what I call a ‘one person Hip-Hopera’ and in it are a series of monologues and songs that tell the story of the buildup, breakdown, and comeback I had that led me to my current life of being a successful comedian.”
Brandon Ash-Mohammed is an award-winning comedian & writer based in Toronto. His credits include being a writer on CBC’s Tall Boyz, being one of CBC’s Comics To Watch, and most recently releasing his #1 comedy album Capricornication which is the first comedy album ever released by a Gay Black Canadian.
