Join us for an NLCLUB first! On November 11th the launch of the dark comedy novel Lala Rosa Girls will be supported by a Stand-up Comedy show highlighting the comedic, urban angle of the book. With performances  by comedian and radio host Cipha Sounds and Marvel Cinematic Universe actor and Allah Made me Funny comedian Azhar Usman. 

Lala Rosa Girls establishes a new genre in literature. It is the first European Urban comedy featuring Arab women. 

It's About More Than Cutting Hair.
Arab women take the lead in the dark comedy novel LaLa Rosa Girls.

Najoua Martin on Lala Rosa Girls: 
“This story contributes to the empowerment of Arab women through comedy. All the stigmas you have about repressed women will disappear upon reading this book. It’s time for Arab women to take the lead in all areas of life and show the world what we’re capable of. The beauty of comedy is that you can write about controversial matters without offending people. Comedy reflects on what we have in common, such as fears, desires, hopes and dreams. When there are uncertainties in life, these universal emotions can lead to poor decisions and that’s exactly what this book is about. Lala Rosa Girls is fiction, but it is inspired by true stories and interviews that have taken place in female only hair salons in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.”
