The Awein Show

The Awein Show, created by Omer Ikram, is a Pakistani witty parody show running on GEO Television Network. It started as a parody to The INDIAN Premier League, but later turned into a political satire show. The special thing AbOUT the show is Mir Muhammad Ali, who is a brilliant actor and does the parody of thousands of people by himself. He can mimic political figures, tv stars, singers, even talk show hosts. The best one he does is Mr. Tariq Aziz, who they call "Farigh Aziz". The writer and creator Omer Ikram is really good at writing, and his work is always new. The Awein show became a major hit in mid 2008, but gained more popularity with the time, every episode of the awein show has unlimited laughters and something fresh. It also sometimes makes you think about the situations of everything. The way Mir portrays all the people he parodies is mind blowing, he becomes so much like them, that if you are not really familiar with the actual people, you can get confused in which the real one is.
