BBC One - The Funny Thing About Ramadan

Comedienne Ayesha Hazarika attempts to fast during Ramadan for the first time.

Documentary director Irshad Ashraf challenges comedienne and moderate Muslim Ayesha Hazarika to fast during Ramadan for the first time.

Documentary.

Comedienne Ayesha Hazarika is a bacon sarnie-munching, wine-swilling Muslim who has never fasted during Ramadan. In this off-beat film, documentary director Irshad Ashraf challenges her to fast and introduces her to some moderate Muslims who observe Ramadan. Will Ayesha's journey with Irshad change her - and will she be able to stick to her fast?

The programme intercuts live performance with Ayesha's journey of discovery.
