I take the podcast on the road to Horten, Norway to meet up with Zahid Ali. He is one of Norway's most popular stand-up comedians and actors, and is known for his participation in the TV2 show and several films and television shows such as, "Izzat", "Hellfjord" and "Rikets Røst"". He was the source of both controversy and adoration for his hit television series "Jul i Tøyengata". In 2010 Ali received the Brobyggerprisen, a Norwegian prize for building relations between immigrants and Norwegian natives. His work is also about fighting prejudice. Zahid Ali has also toured with his stand-up show "Zahid Ali-live".
We talk about how Zahid, who is of Pakistani descent, gathered some of the most popular comedians in Norway to raise money for relief work in Pakistan after the earthquake disaster in 2004. All of the money raised was donated to the Embassy of Pakistan. Zahid talks about how things got very interesting when he handed over a sack of cash to the Pakistani Ambassador in Norway. We also shared our thoughts sharing the standup stage together, and also our individual experiences as entertainers in Norway.
