060: Khaled Khalafalla - How comedy killed the radio star

Khaled Khalafalla has had a meteoric rise in comedy. But it could
have turned out very different. Born into a medical family of
surgeons and dentists, and growing up in Saudi Arabia and New
Zealand, comedy's call must have been strong. Now calling
Melbourne home, Khaled has well and truly put his mark on the
comedy map, having come runner up in the National Grand Final of
Raw Comedy, winner of Green Faces, and now a regular on the
Australian comedy circuit.


In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast interview, you'll
hear how Khaled compares metabolism to writing comedy, how
his goal to be a radio host got him hooked on stand-up, how he
believes stand-up comedy is the 'root of entertainment in its
purest form', and his new found acting career.


We also talk about Khaled's upcoming Australian tour. Click here

And, if you're curious about stand-up, and want to kick start
your comedy career, the School of Hard Knock Knocks has courses
running in Adelaide and Melbourne in June, with Glynn Nicholas
and The Nelson Twins.
