Corner Shop Show is a British comedy drama web series that premiered on YouTube in March 2014. The series is created by Islah Abdur-Rahman and consists of continuous episodes uploaded on his YouTube channel CornerShopShow, following the adventures of a young man's transition to fill his father's shoes after becoming the custodian of the family business.
In mid-2013, the series came to fruition when Islah Abdur-Rahman was with a friend who, like Malik in the series, was taking care of a family business whilst his father was away on business. Whilst they were in the shop, Abdur-Rahman began mind mapping a new series. [1]
The original music is provided by Mike Tan, the theme song features vocals by the creator, director and writer of the series, Islah Abdur-Rahman alongside former UK Beatbox Champion MC Zani. As the series ventured into its second season, the team included singer/songwriter Sonna Rele & Sauce [1]
In August 2014, Episodes 1 and 2 of Corner Shop Show were removed from YouTube [1] because Abdur-Rahman did not think they had the same production level as Episode 3 onwards and wanted to take the series in a new direction. [2] The series had its television premiere on Christmas Eve 2014 on Brit Asia TV. When reaching the ninth Episode, Abdur-Rahman launched a crowd funding campaign to create Season 2.
The soundtrack of the Corner Shop Show contains original and parody music, all of which are created by Mistah Islah.
