Monkey Business by Yasir Hussain Hits Islamabad – A Must-See Comedy Play This June!
Looking for the latest events in Islamabad or wondering what to do this weekend? Here’s something you don’t want to miss, Monkey Business, the hit theatre play by Yasir Hussain, is now live in Islamabad from June 11 to June 24, 2025, at PNCA. Shows start at 7:30 PM sharp, and tickets are priced at Rs. 2,500. (Please note: children under 12 are not allowed.)
After packed performances at Arts Council Karachi, this laugh-out-loud stage play has made its way to the capital. If you’re searching for theatre events in Islamabad, this is one of the top cultural experiences you’ll find this month.
Written and directed by Yasir Hussain, Monkey Business stars Yasir himself alongside Umar Alam, and features a stellar cast including Yusra Irfan, Bilal Yousafzai, Khizr Umar, and more. The story follows Waseem (Yasir), an artist who scams a grant for disabled performers, and the chaos that unfolds when an inspector shows up at his door.
It’s satire, slapstick, and social commentary rolled into one. The play blends nostalgia for legends like Moin Akhtar and Umer Sharif with viral pop culture references, making it equally appealing to older theatre lovers and young audiences hooked on Instagram reels.
Whether you’re a local, an expat, or a foreign tourist looking for entertainment in Islamabad, Monkey Business offers an unforgettable evening full of laughs and surprises. Expect sharp dialogue, hilarious disguises, and witty jabs at society, all performed live.
Yasir Hussain’s return to stage has been hailed as a major moment for Pakistani theatre, and Monkey Business proves why. This isn’t just a play, it’s a celebration of culture, comedy, and craft.
