About this listen

In this episode, we sit down with comedian and entrepreneur Usman Khalid.

Usman shares his remarkable life story - from growing up in Pakistan to navigating life in the UK without papers. He shares his harrowing experience in a UK detention centre and the systemic mistreatment he faced.

Usman goes on to tell us about founding Haven Coffee, a social enterprise that supports refugee communities across the UK. We also dive into his life in comedy and the creation of Laff-Uccino, a hugely popular stand-up night spotlighting incredible talent from refugee and migrant backgrounds.
