Crush
By Hadsan Mohamud🌟 Featured in Rolling Stones' Must-See Comedy Shows at Edinburgh Fringe 2026 🌟
A British-Somali rom-com to warm your heart and hit you right in the feels.
A clinic waiting room. Two Somali teens. One awkward meet-cute. Najma has been in treatment for years. Zakariya’s just starting out. She sketches. He writes poems. Neither of them is ready to talk. Until they meet each other.
As their sessions continue, so do the chats. And the jokes. And the secrets. Crush is a tender, funny and honest story about identity, connection and the messy path to healing.
Longlisted for the Tony Craze Award 2025.
