Makrooh

Sat 5 Apr 25 180 minutes
Makrooh: an afternoon of spoken word and music performed by British Muslim artists.

Makrooh is more than a stage—it’s a space where we celebrate our voices, our stories, and the communities that shape us.

In a world where Muslim artists are often overlooked, we carve out a night that centers us—our joy, our artistry, and the power of collective expression. With a live band improvising throughout the evening, four headlining Muslim artists will take us on a journey through poetry, comedy, music, and storytelling.

And the mic? It’s open. This is for the poets, the comics, the truth-tellers, and the musicians who want to take up space and be heard. Whether you’re stepping up or cheering from the crowd, you are part of this moment.

Makrooh isn’t just a showcase—it’s a celebration of the artists and communities who are doing the work. Those who create, resist, and build spaces of belonging despite the narratives that try to erase us.

Headliners announced soon.

We believe art should be accessible to all. If the full ticket price is a barrier, reach out to us at info@makrooh.co.uk—we’ve got you.
