In today's episode of Moments of Clarity, Matt and Toby talk to Fady Kassab. Fady is a stand-up comedian based in Sydney, Australia.
Although he entered comedy later in life, Fady has certainly hit the ground running. As the 2019 winner of Triple J’s RAW comedy competition, Fady soon went on to perform at The Gilded Balloon, one of the largest and best-known venues at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he made the grand finals of the long-running ‘So you Think You’re Funny’ comedy competition. Fady has performed at Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney comedy festivals as well writing and starring on ABCs, Question Everything.
As you will hear, Fady really does question everything and he has every right to. Fady was born in Lebanon and as a child had the horrific experience of having tanks roll past his house as Israel invaded. Fady talks about this being the end of innocence for him and as we find out during the podcast, the trauma of living through 17 years of war not only inspires Fady’s comedy but really brings it to life. Along with stories of marriage, divorce, kids and the rising cost of living, Fady incorporates a social and political commentary that is based on lived experience. He understands that the purpose of comedy is not simply to make you laugh but to make you think as well. Raw, honest and opinionated yet humble, mindful and kind, Fady certainly made us think in this conversation.
