Who is Dr Daffodil?
Dr Daffodil is the comedy alter ego of Mona Abdel-Fadil (she/her) — British-born, Egyptian-Norwegian comedian, genre-bending performer, and skilled improviser with an undeniable stage presence and an absolutely unhinged commitment to making the room laugh.
Punchlines with Citations.
Sharp. Political. Occasionally unsettling. Occasionally just silly. Often both simultaneously. Always worth it.

DR. DAFFODIL GOES OCCIDENTAL!
Det Norske Teatret, Oslo | March 20, 2026 | English
SOLD OUT. STANDING OVATION.
THE WEST? Thoroughly diagnosed.
Dr. Daffodil brought her satirical lecture performance on WENA (Western Europe and North America) to Det Norske Teatret — challenging stereotypes about Arabs and the MENA region through sharp satire, role reversal and witty, uncomfortably accurate observations on Western culture, mentality and self-image. The audience loved the diagnosis so much — they gave her a standing ovation. Dr Daffodil prescribed more comedy.
A guest production from Masahat — promoting culture, art and knowledge from the Middle East and North Africa.
Workshops
Mona teaches classic comedy impro & applied drama workshops — including her signature workshop on coping with racism through humour, & workshops on diversity, inclusion and decolonising comedy for improvisers, organisations & everyone in between.
