    Nazeem Hussain - Never talk to a Psychologist!
    Apr 20 2025
    Nazeem Hussain has fast become one of the biggest stars of Australian comedy, and a much loved television and radio personality. He also happens to be a devout muslim and a fearless performer on stage, who is most comfortable telling jokes about non-controversal topics such as race, politics and religion. On today's episode, Nazeem shares the powerful story of his childhood growing up without a dad, his strong bond with his mum, sisters, and his faith, and how he found the perfect avenue for his growing confidence and cheeky sense of humour. He also warns against the perils of chatting with a psychologist (aka, a total scam akin to visiting a psychic at the local mall). If you would like to catch Nazeem on tour (which you absolutely should), his show dates can be found here: https://www.livenation.com.au/nazeem-hussain-tickets-adp591174 Or you can check out his latest comedy special here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj5UfYL7sDc# To see Nazeem's childhood photo discussed in the episode, head to https://www.instagram.com/youreagoodkidpodcast/# Learn more about your ad choices.
