Sina Khani: “I’m a piece of shit human being who is always in some kind of stupid trouble and who is mortal as fuck. I’m pretty sure I will die laughing one day.”
In the ensemble’s own words, ‘Creeps from the Middle East is a black and white, non-monetized, relatively unscripted comedy show created by Susan Lanting, Steven Bos and Sina Khani.’ For me, the initial reaction found it all to be a very bizarre, experimental take on the ‘absurd’; an art/ comic project that oozes ideas, and […]

On the plus though, it is a side of his nature, given the quality and quantity of his creative output, I would argue that has been put to tremendous use over the years. […]
