Creative Types with Virginia Trioli on ABC and ABC iview S3E4 – Trail-blazing comedian Nazeem Hussain wants the “majority to feel like the minority for an hour” with sell-out comedy that breaks all the racial taboos.
Comedian Nazeen Hussain’s Muslim and Sri Lankan heritage is central to his comedy, so he invites Virginia to share a Sri Lankan curry and reveal how a life of being brown and different in Australia has defined his work.
Nazeem explains why he won’t shy away from making comedy about some of the toughest subjects and issues in the world right now, as long as it’s genuinely funny.
At a sell-out stand up performance in Brisbane he has the audience of all colours howling at jokes about difference and similarity that few other artists would dare approach.
