Ever wondered what Nazeem Hussain does during a two-year break? Me neither, and I'm him. Nonetheless, Nazeem's back and is as 'Totally Normal' as ever.

Whether you've laughed at him on TV, followed him on TikTok, or perhaps tailed him in real life (creepy, but he appreciates the commitment), now's your chance to strap in for a full dose of Nazeem, live and up-close.

Nazeem Hussain has fast become one of the biggest stars of Australian comedy and a much-loved television and radio personality, with almost 1.5 million followers on social media.

His NETFLIX special Nazeem Hussain: Public Frenemy, filmed in Montreal at the Just For Laughs Festival, was released in 2019, streaming globally in 180 countries, introducing Nazeem to a legion of new fans and garnered widespread critical acclaim. He followed it up in 2022 with Hussain in the Membrane on YouTube, with several routines from the special racking up millions of views.

A regular on international stages, Nazeem has performed around the globe, including sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, London's Soho Theatre, all across New Zealand, Paris, Belgium, China, Singapore, Malaysia, the US (including opening for Dave Chappelle in New York City), and a homecoming show of sorts in Sri Lanka to 2,500 people (yes, the Prime Minister and his wife sat on thrones in the front row).

Stand-up comedy is Nazeem’s, first love. His last national tour, Hussain That? in 2022 was a sell-out. Last year also saw him host of a new season of The Pineapple Project, venture into the literary world with the release of children's book series, Hy-larious Hyena, with a highly anticipated second instalment of the series soon to be unveiled.

Don’t miss the totally normal return of Nazeem Hussain in 2024.

Herald Sun

"Reinventing Australian Comedy"

The Times (UK)

"And just when you think you have him pegged, he sneaks up on you again, showing society's conventional wisdom to be little more than prejudice, yet somehow picking out something side-splittingly funny therein."

Edinburgh Festivals Magazine (UK)

"Hussain is a wonderful comedic artist who blends observation with comedy that crafts an intelligent and hilarious show."
