In this episode I’m talking to acclaimed comedian and award-winning television presenter Aatif Nawaz who originally trained as an actor, and only moved in to standup comedy when a technical problem forced him to riff with an audience for 40 minutes at a friend’s event. He’s a very familiar face on the UK’s Islamic and Asian TV channels, and tells us about his experiences performing to non-mainstream audiences. Aatif also discusses the success of his last solo show, Muslims Do It 5 Times A Day, and his plans for EdFringe 2016 where he will launch his latest production, Aatificial Intelligence. You can find out more about Aatif Nawaz through his website and his Twitter feed.
