Ep 159 - Ahmed Ahmed

You don't get to witness much new stuff in stand-up comedy these days, but our old friend Ahmed Ahmed was the first to start Muslim/Middle East comedy in the American stand-up world about 10 years ago and we got to witness it taking off. He stopped by the show this week to talk about how he got into comedy, how his parents reacted to him wanting to be a comedian, and our old Hollywood stomping grounds when we were young comedians.
