#214: Aisha Alfa - Stepping Up

Aisha Alfa is an award-winning comedian as well as an actor,
writer and host who can currently be seen co-starring with Kaley
Cuoco & Chris Messina in the new dark comedy thriller BASED
ON A TRUE STORY, created by Craig Rosenberg and Jason Bateman.


Aisha was previously seen in GOOD TROUBLE, SORRY FOR
YOUR LOSS and multiple seasons of DEGRASSI: THE NEXT
GENERATION & THE NEXT CLASS. 


Her incredible life and upbringing has given her a comedic edge
and vision to see the world with a much broader lens. She
was born in Nigeria, raised in Canada, lived in South Korea
and France and now calls Los Angeles home.   


Aisha recently released her debut comedy album ALL THE
PARTS (produced by All Things Comedy—Bill Burr & Al
Madrigal), produced the YouTube interview series PLUS
ONE about motherhood, pregnancy and fertility, and launched
her own podcast titled, THE SHOUT OUT SHOW, available on all
podcast platforms.  


Aisha has travelled the world performing comedy including the
prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal (Trevor Noah
Gala, Kevin Hart LOL, and Homegrown), South Africa (Goliath Club,
Cape (Town Comedy Club), Switzerland (Montreux Festival) and
more.  Aisha was also a Bob Curry Fellow at Second City,
an NBC STAND UP Finalist, nominated for a Canadian
Comedy Award and a past winner of Winnipeg’s Funniest Person
with a Day Job from Rumor’s Comedy Club.


We chat about her previous life as a professional soccer player,
wedding planner and a coach, collaboration, finding your voice
and performing, authenticity, passion, abundance and happiness.


Just to note this chat was recorded prior to the writers strike*.
