أول مؤدية كوميديا سعودية
Welcome to BBC Xtra English.
Today Vicki and Liliane talk about the first female stand up comedian in Saudi Arabia, who has just finished her first public performance.
For Noufie, stand up comedy is a serious business.
She is serious about what she does, which involves telling jokes to a live audience about everyday life .
However, in a country where there are many restrictions on what women can do, her occupation could have a serious effect on her family.
This is why she has chosen 'Noufie' as an assumed name to protect her relatives.
She says she does not want to start rumours about her family.
Noufie described her first performance as a bit nerve wracking .
The response from the audience was positive with lots of clapping and laughing .
Noufie is young and feisty , and describes herself as a risk taker .
Audiences have described her as a ' natural comic '.
Should Noufie be performing?
Should she be more concerned about her family's reputation?
