In Turkey Asli performs in many comedy shows and also as part of a Turkish all female stand-up comedy group ‘Cok Da Fifi’. Asli tours with them all over Turkey but performs mostly in Istanbul. Asli's stand-up has been described as delightful, wacky and outrageous.

His stand up styles is wacky with light-hearted tales about everyday life and cultural quirks.

He continued stand-up when he moved to London to study. When he moved back to Turkey he continued comedy and set up the first UK style Open Mic night in Istanbul called KoMikrofon with Asli Akbay.

I have teamed up with two other comedians to do a two week show called 'The Three Amigos'. I will also be doing short spots in other people's shows. So it should be an exciting couple of weeks.
