The hilariously humourous, half Egyptian Irish comedian/presenter/actor Baz Ashmawy is an accomplished and truly exciting talent on the Irish Entertainment scene. He is best known over the past four years for presenting the hugely popular and wildly energetic, hit cult travel comedy series “How low can you go?” for RTE2. Baz will have a new series out in the Autumn - watch this space for updates.
After proving to be a popular addition with his guest presenter appearance on RTE 1’s “No Frontiers” last year, he will this season present their independent travel section of the show.
Baz increased his popularity when he appeared in the very popular RTE1 Entertainment series Celebrity Banisteoir, where he managed a GAA Team, displaying a serious and soft side to his character, seldom revealed.
No stranger to radio, Baz regularly presents on 2FM’s Gerry Ryan show as well as being a regular pundit on Newstalk’s Orla Barry show.
He has also displayed his unique comedic timing on a variety of other RTE radio programmes such as Ryan Tubridy and Derek Mooney, as well as Spin FM and Today FM.
Although having strong experiences with classical theatre and Shakespeare it’s probably his love of improvisation that has given him the accolades as an excellent comedic actor and has provided featured parts in TV show’s such as RTE2’s own award winning sketch show “Stew”.
Word on the comedy stand up circuit is that the wide eyed Dubliner should be making an appearance on the UK and Irish stages very, very soon….watch this space!!!!
He has previously appeared in the short film “The Feast” directed by the award winning director Donnica O’Breen as well as playing Fortinbras from Marowitz’s “Hamlet” in the Focus Theatre.
He also stared as George in Brian Di Salvo’s well received interpretation of Thornton Wilders classic “Our Town” which was be The first play to open in Mill Theatre in Dundrum.
