Janine Harouni Debuts Comedy Couture at Soho Theatre • CelebMafia

With a poster as bold as her punchlines, Janine Harouni pairs stand-up grit with off-duty cool—think Brooklyn edge meets London stage polish.

There’s something deliciously meta about Janine Harouni standing beside her own five-star poster at Soho Theatre—like a living footnote to her own rising legend. The image, snapped outside the venue during her December run of Stand Up with Janine Harouni (Please Remain Seated), captures more than a promotional moment; it’s a quiet flex, a sartorial wink to her dual identity as comic and cultural commentator.

Harouni’s look here is textbook “comedian off-duty”—a study in understated rebellion. She wears a black Free People Everest Henley, previously spotted on her character Thalia in ITV’s Buffering. The top’s button-front silhouette and soft ribbed texture lend a casual intimacy, like she’s halfway between rehearsal and roast. It’s normcore with nuance: the kind of piece that says “I’m funny, but I care about fit.”

Her styling is minimal but intentional. No flashy accessories, no red carpet theatrics—just a clean, confident presence that lets the poster (and her résumé) do the talking. The backdrop—a collage of glowing reviews from The Times, Telegraph, Chortle, and Scotsman—adds a layer of visual drama, framing her as both subject and spectacle.
