Well, well, well, looks like Ahir Shah is the talk of the comedy town! Winning the best show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards is quite an achievement. And not only that, he's also made history by becoming the first British-Asian to take home this prestigious prize. Kudos to him for using his platform to explore important topics like race, class, and migration.

It's great to see comedy being used as a tool for social commentary and pushing boundaries. Who said comedy was just about making people laugh? It can be both entertaining and thought-provoking.

So here's a toast to Ahir Shah and his captivating show "Ends". Keep breaking barriers and making waves in the world of comedy! 🎉🏆😄
