Neema Naz is a comedian, an actor, and the creator of The Estupid Club and NeemaNazTV. This conversation–my first with a REAL, card-carrying comedian–was an absolute delight! Of course, if you’re among his quarter-million followers on Instagram, this will come as no surprise; Neema is not only an immensely talented actor, but a refreshingly candid person. In this episode, Neema and I discuss: His origin story; the role of his parents (who immigrated to Canada from Iran) in his life; beginning and sustaining a successful business with his brother; the advantages of standing astride two cultures; growing up in Toronto; growing out and cutting his hair; his comedic role models; his education and training as an actor; the benefits to his “brand”, and the detriments to his health, of being “bigger-boned”; the hostility of the age to comedy and free speech; censorship online; his impressions; the feeling of seeing his name on a marquee; his ambitious plans for the future; and MORE! Links to Neema’s Stuff: Website: https://www.neemanaz.com/Check this link for tour dates! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neemanaz/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NeemaNaz+++Links to my Stuff: Website: finneranswake.comInstagram (where I post shorts and occasional shirtless videos): https://www.instagram.com/danielethanfinneran/YouTube: @finneranswakeMINDFULNESS, MEDITATION, AND SLEEP AID CHANNEL: PNEUMA BY DANIEL FINNERANFor those of you in need of mindfulness meditations, sleep stories, or just a nice, soothing voice, visit my sister project, Pneuma By Daniel Finneran (available on all podcast streaming services). Pneuma By Daniel Finneran: pneumameditations.comYouTube: @pneumabydanielfinneran #comedy #conversation #talkshow #interview
