I love professional boxing. But there’s no doubt it’s been in decline for quite a while. Popularity is waning and the biggest boxing events seem to involve social media celebrities in exhibition matches. However, the root of the problem lies with the greedy sanctioning bodies, and their blatant money-grubbing schemes, that have devalued the very Championships they were supposed to…
Leave a Comment(NOT SPONSORED.) This week I got my Covid-19 vaccination. In this video I show you the process you can expect: before, during and after. Also, what side effects I experienced. You will receive one of three versions: Oxford Astrazeneca, Pfizer, Moderna. After your first dose, you should get a follow-up second jab 11 to 12 weeks later. They also confirmed…
Leave a CommentDuring LGBT History Month, I’ve been attending various social and educational events with colleagues from work. When they found out I wasn’t gay, they labelled me an “LGBT ally”. However, that description doesn’t sit well with me, because of what I perceive to be the expectations they have for LGBTQ+ allies (aka “the gender-sexuality alliance”). And I wanted to explain…
Leave a CommentI’ve been pretty silent on the whole issue of #BlackLivesMatter for a while, because I was trying to put my thoughts together in a way that accurately expressed how I feel about what’s happening across the world and the racially charged arguments being had all over social media at the moment. I decided I might as well put it in…
Leave a CommentOne of the things I wanted to do on my channel was make useful educational videos, where I explain complicated or usually misunderstood topics in simple terms that anyone can understand. My first such educational video goes live today, and it’s about something that has hit the news recently: President Trump’s escalating bad blood with Twitter and his legal threats…
Leave a CommentI appeared on London’s LBC radio today to discuss the double-standards in the arts world and comedy scene when it comes to offending different religious groups. In particular, the conversation focused on the perception that Islam is treated as a special case when it comes to blasphemy. The show was hosted by Shelagh Fogarty and also included thoughts by Douglas…
Leave a CommentI always suspected I was one of the best Muslims in the country. But it wasn’t until I was nominated for a “British Muslim Award” earlier this year, that I was officially able to confirm it to myself and to others. There’s been a frenzy of speculation recently that Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has decided to become Muslim. If true,…
Leave a CommentIt’s one of the world’s most successful religions, with an estimated 1.5 to 2 billion adherents. Yet, thanks to misrepresentations of its tenets by its opponents, and by Muslims themselves, it’s a staggeringly misunderstood ideology. Even a cursory review of the Islamic belief system, versus how it’s perceived, shows a huge disconnect between what the scriptures say and what both…
1 Comment“And the award for funniest blind lesbian of the year goes to…” I won an industry award last week: “Breakthrough Act Of The Year”. It certainly came as a shock given I’ve been performing standup comedy for less than a year. Don’t worry. It hasn’t gone to my head. I’m not deluded into thinking I’m the greatest comedian in the…
