Shaparak Khorsandi On Iran's Morality Police | Late Night Mash | Dave 

SUPPORT IRANIANS WHO ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO STAND ON THE STREETS AND SAID "ENOUGH!"

This made me laugh. This made me cry. What a powerful and well done monolog! There us no way her father is not proud of the beautiful and strong women she is.❤️

That improv while emotional was impressive gold. 👏👏👏👏👏

The women of Iran (and the men who support them) in their battle for equal rights are inspirational! Illegitimi non carborundum!

Highly educated people with the largest percentage of people under the age of 30 on Earth. Cradle of civilisation and a culture of hospitality that puts the west to shame. In all my travels I’ve never met an Iranian I didn’t like. I stand with you my brothers and sisters. Much love from Australia ❤

We stand with the people of Iran!

Shaparak is great comic, so glad to see her back and on the circuit again.

This was amazing. My full support and solidarity to women in Iran 💓

Did not expect how moving a 4min section of Mash was going to be, Khorsandi bravo!

That is a comedy piece beyond compare, on so many levels. Go, Shappi.

Thank you for being willing to show your heart.

Thank you Shaparak, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.

I can’t like this enough. In my country and state, abortion is now effectively illegal. But in Iran women are actually standing up for themselves, for their futures, for their daughters. It’s so inspiring and brave and gives me so much hope. For Iranian women, for women everywhere, I hope that, as Shappi mentions, history is written by the oppressed

Wonderful woman and I pray 🙏 for the Iranian people

Bang on comments, inspirational protesters of Iran, fight for your rights to be free, of enforced indoctrination

The most truthful and most heartfelt monologue I've ever heard. Simply brilliant. Thank you Shaparak.

I love you Shappi! You are a legend 💪🖤🕊

😂😭😂 definition of mixed emotion. Brilliant but devastating.

Who said Brits aren’t funny? ☺️ Thank you for this, Shaparakjoon!! All of us in the diaspora need to continue to amplifying the voices of our Iranian sisters and brothers in Iran. That’s all they ask of the rest of the world: BE OUR VOICE ✌🏽 #MahsaAmini #HadisNajafi #WomenLifeFreedom

Respect. Support. Love. Aluta continua. Amandla (freedom)!

Back in time the Kings Jester was one of the few who could use comedy and irony to make a lord and privy council to see things from a different angle, that most people wouldn’t dare say out loud. She has doubtless made her father proud.

Bravo, Shappi! Beautiful! Magnificent! 👍👏✊😎💪🥳

Support the Persian Resistance, Revolution and Renaissance ✨🌍✨Woman, Life and Freedom - Zan, Zendagi and Azadi✨✨✨

Thank you Shapi

well done Shappy. Proud Persian Woman. #PPW

We should all listen and learn from this. Total respect for standing up and saying this. You, and they, have so much support. Please keep talking ❤️❤️

Freedom for Iranian people.

Shappi is a legend. Keep up the good work

Well done Dave!

I didn't know that she had started going by her full name (had to do a bit of googling to find out she made the switch last year). Good for her. And it's an additional layer of nuance to this emotionally raw monologue.

The irony. Message well delivered.

Shappi is one of the cleverest and funniest women around today. More power to her.

She is brilliant, glad we can hear her.

Hit the nail on the head. The headscarf is a free choice for women who choose to protect themselves from harm, not something to be enforced on women through harm!

It is not easy to explain all the brutalities of the Islamic regime to our Western friends, 43 years of bloody crack down . Imagine a page of Handmaid's tale but Islamic style.

This is the best description and summary. You've done amazing.

Wow... just wow. It was the most powerful comedy speech I've seen. Thank you x

Big love Shapi and to the people of Iran. There needs to be more of a discussion among Muslims regarding Islamic-inspired laws designed to oppress women

Shappi is amazing

It's always rules to oppress women. Ain't that the truth! Shappi is brilliant and witty. The women and girls who are protesting are so brave. It's heartening to see men supporting them.

Brillian kick in the guts sartire. Should I laugh and cry?

I can’t like this clip enough Shappi is a great narrator with such a strong heartfelt voice to the cause. Well done this is the first time I’ve watched this video love and hugs. ❤😂😂😂

So much more to this woman than her comedy. Respect

Solidarity ✊🏼

It’s good to see Shappi back on TV. Funny, intelligent and insightful comedy. 😊

Wow!

Oh you are just amazing ❤

Thank you!

Thank you for this ❤️ thank you for speaking up

It is really impressive. Thank you.

fantastically funny and heartbreaking. A real tour de force.

Well said Shappi.

I’m I love Shaparak Khorsandi, and happily support her and even date her if she probably wasn’t occupied by dozens of other people, or being sent bloody death threats. And if she’s ever in my neighbourhood then please let me buy her a cup of something and a good intelligent laugh! Thankyou for making my evening. And the rest of this week go by.

Crying for Iran and saying sorry, very British.

monotheism, zealotry, and the nation-state... individually dangerous, in combination? deadly. The Iranians, particularly the women of Iran, have tried a few times to lift themselves out from under oppressive regimes. This time, I hope it works.

That was funny, incisive and moving.

Brilliant honesty.

👍♥️👍

Shappi is so good

Fabulous commentary ❤

Iranian people are so nice (most of them) and they live in a beautiful country. Islam has a lot to answer for.

Wonderfull

Naturally, shortly after I give up on the show they have something so important and heartfelt on.

That was fantastic ❤

Brilliant.

Iran is a very complex country. Under the Shah they went fast forward into the 20th century. In Iran today it's the year 1380 ( quirk of calendars) but I hope that soon Iran will become what it always was a welcoming country full of wonderful people.

She is brilliant, I could watch her stand up for hours 😂😂😂

Superb, screw all religious fundamentalism.

Is it wierd that now I know Shappi is an abreviation of Shaparak I won't be able to sleep until I hear someone pronounce it properly.... even though I greatly suspect at that point I'll just think: "Oh just as written then!"

More, more, more.

Inspiring

Very clever always funny i love her and i rate herfor using her public stage to make statements that can change or even intrigue the minds of those that maybe wouldnt have gave it a second thought ❤

❤

Excellent

One year after the protests and absolutely nothing has changed.

I like listening to Comedians because they are the onely ones speaking any sense.

What a brave and wonderfull woman, saying it as it is, regarding the the dregs of the humanity.

Superb 😊

incredibly brave people!

❤❤❤

I know a woman from Iran. She escaped & came to America, learned about Jesus & became a Christian. Very active in her church. She told us about growing up in Iran. They lived in fear of their government & couldn't speak a word of it. I understand replacing the Shah but the Ayatollah was worse & people are powerless to get a representative government.

shappi is awesome

Heartbreakingly funny…

Shapi is an outstanding person. What a brilliant take on the horror of Islamic fundamentalism. Wehave our own moral fascists like Braverman and Patel: they may not want to execute you but they'll subject you to banishment at a minimum for daring to flee evil or hardship regardless of the fact that their parents did the same (just not on a life raft).

She is beyond excellent

Why on earth would any man not want to see this beautiful hair ? beats me.

💜

You go girl

I,m a British citizen male , , this woman is totally. Brilliant , fantastic woman ❤ ❤❤❤ . She speaks absolutel sense , and so funny to. , , brilliant , , Paul Yorkshire UK, , .

Beautiful

That was obviously really difficult. You aced it hon 😊

She is inspirational (I also have a major crush on her) ❤

🙌💚🙌

*insert standing ovation here*

Heartbreaking.

i don't know when it happened but at some point in the last 10 years dave went from 24/7 QI reruns to the springboard for the best, no, only good satire/commentary/comedy in the UK (bar HIGNFY)

She’s funny, and lovely..❤

Iran never stood a chance at freedom with how much we meddled into their country. The US and UK exiled Reza Shah in the early 1900s from his own country because he tried to nationalize their own oil. The UK and US then removed the democrat prime minister Mossadegh from Iran in the 1950s because he tried to nationalize their own oil. They helped the shah's son stay in power while he was under the threat of facing the same fate as other leaders. But in his last 6 or so years in power he too began to become independent and hostile towards the US and UK who held his country hostage and began to speak of nationalizing their oil. Iran then burst into socialist and communist uprisings that suddenly got hijacked into an islamist révolution. In 2016 the BBC's investigation into declassified CIA records showed that Khomeini and the mullahs were put into power by the US to destabilize Iran and mitigate soviet influence.

That was pretty moving.
