126 - Nazeem Hussain

Creator and host of his own TV show "Legally Brown", Nazeem Hussain aces it in sketch, stand-up and on the road. Unusually for a comic he's also an upstanding pillar of his community! As well as winning the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Best Newcomer, he is also the recipient of awards for leadership in diversity, and is the patron of a refugee charity. We talk about how his faith feeds into his work, being "a tough-talking idiot", and the reality of being genuinely targeted by shadowy government organisations...Support the podcast at www.comedianscomedian.comUse discount code FAFF at www.sohotheatre.com for 25% off tickets to the live Adam Buxton interview on 7th July!(Additional Music: Kevin MacLeod - Ghost Dance / creativecommons.org)Sketch, Tour, Melbourne Comedy Festival Hosted on Acast.
