Nazeem Hussain is one of the biggest stars of Australian Comedy and a much loved television and radio personality. A regular on international stages, Nazeem is now enjoying a different kind of success with his ground breaking sketches going viral on Tiktok. In this episode you will learn there is so much more to the cheeky comic than his ability to make us laugh. Nazeem and Jess go deep on how he challenges the assumptions and inbuilt prejudices we can unknowingly have about people, and why he loves to flip the power dynamic and make us laugh with him about it. While stand up comedy is his first love, nothing comes in the way of his love for his mum, Nazeem says that success only matters when he knows his mum is proud. He also opens up about his Muslim faith and how it enriches his life by helping him stay centered, gives him a sense of community and belonging, and a reminder that there is a lot to be thankful for. Tickets are now available to see Nazeem in this live show Hussain That? For details visit livenation.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
