Just Chill with Oliver George #19 - Wafik Nasralla

Join Oliver as he chills with Canadian comedy veteran Wafik Nasralla! A seasoned comic, Wafik has been performing standup for over 25 years and has had his very own special on CTV's 'Comedy Now!'. On his first tour of the UK, Wafik saw that tour extended by 7 weeks due to popular demand. He was interviewed on BBC radio and also won 2 comedy competitions. Wafik describes himself hilariously as one of the funniest one-eyed, Egyptian-Canadian comedians on the planet!

In this episode, Wafik shares his insights on the changing landscape of comedy over the years, and how that relates to his often edgy and racial humour. Wafik also talks about the difference between performing to Canadian and British crowds, respectively. Oliver inquires about the experience of having your own televised comedy special, and Wafik beams about the Ottawa comedy scene. There was a fantastic chat for another half hour or so, unfortunately after the recording had ended... All the more reason for Wafik to return!
