A JOB, a care home and the upper class. This intriguing trio brings Bilal Zafars’ latest fringe comedy show to life.

Zafar promises to amuse the Fringe as he looks back at his year-long care worker experience.

CARE reveals unconventional anecdotes on how his 21-year-old self handled elderly truants and hostage-style situations between workers and residents.
