A comedian in a warzone is no laughing matter.

A close shave with a landmine, menaced by a warlord, and abducted by the Mujahideen: this is the extraordinary, true story of a British comedian and photographer in war-torn Afghanistan.

In 2002, whilst researching a comedy, triple Fringe First winner Henry Naylor and two-time Scottish Feature Photographer of the Year Sam Maynard went to the Afghan Warzone. It was a trip which changed both their lives and their art. Performed by Naylor himself, in front of Maynard’s pictures, this docu-play takes us back to the start of a modern tragedy.
