Patrick Monahan brings his show *I’m Not A Terrorist – I’m Freddie Mercury* to the Gilded Balloon Patter House on Wednesday 5 August 2026. The comedian, who arrived in England from Iran in 1980, explores the absurdity of being mistaken for a terrorist by drawing parallels with Freddie Mercury. His set blends personal anecdotes about visa checks and restricted access with a warm, playful energy that the Scotsman has described as an irresistible force. Running for 60 minutes, the performance delivers a sharp, witty take on identity and prejudice. Ticket prices are available on the venue’s website.
