#196: Tahir Bilgic - Mindset Matters

Tahir Bilgic is an award winning internationally acclaimed
stand-up comedian, a Logie winning actor as well as a writer,
director and producer. He is known for his hugely popular live
performances, as well as an impressive collection of credits
spanning multiple highly successful television shows. Tahir is,
quite simply, one Australia’s greatest and most recognised
comedians.


Over the course of his career, Tahir has written, directed and
starred in over a dozen major stage shows. Lord of the Kebabs, an
ensemble piece of sketches and stand-up, enjoyed over 100
performances, and was seen collectively by 20,000 people all
across the nation. Other live stage shows include Hollywood
Kebabs, Live and Circumcised and Straight Outta Compo, with more
on the way!


Tahir has also appeared many times on television, as a performer,
actor and guest, on shows such as Rove Live, The Footy Show, All
Saints, Housos, Swift and Shift Couriers, Thank God You’re Here,
the Librarians, Bogan Hunters and Foxtel’s
thecomedychannel. 


When the hit SBS comedy Pizza entered its fourth series, Tahir
joined its cast as the womanising drug-dealer Habib, and
instantly cemented himself as one of the show’s best loved
characters. Habib was so popular, in fact, that he soon demanded
his own live stage production – leading to the sell-out smash,
Habib on Parole. The character “Habib”, is one of the most
hilarious and popular characters ever seen on Australian
television. Tahir then went on to co-write and star in
several feature length movies with the Pizza team, such as Fat
Pizza, Housos Vs Authority, and Fat Pizza Vs Housos. The Fat
Pizza movie, which enjoyed one of the all-time most successful
opening weekends ever for an Australian movie release.


Tahir was also co-creator of the acclaimed Channel 9 sitcom Here
Come The Habibs and was a contestant on the 2019 season of I’m A
Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. And according to his biography,
Tahir is currently in talks to host his own television show, and
has recently signed on to star and produce his own movie, with
production to commence shortly.


We chat about his world record, his love of comedy, his previous
life as a teacher, going with the flow, finding out who you are,
why he’s so happy, his growth and forward moving mindset, being
the world’s best worst magician, timing and luck.
