    Such a refreshing comedian, making light of situations, such as being a Muslim, airport security etc. Alot of comedians these days shy away from controversial subjects as they don't want to be classed as 'racist' or because they don't want to offend 'snowflakes', well we definitely need more people like her, that openly speak their mind.

    • @chrissiesparrow3550
      @chrissiesparrow3550 Před 2 lety +38

      She's not doing it because she dislikes Islam she's making fun of the people who are racist towards her. She's allowed to poke fun at her struggles. I wouldn't be allowed to make some of the jokes because I'm not a hijabi.

    Imagine the guts it takes to be a Muslim woman who observes Islamic body covering and maintains relations with her family and Islamic community and yet be able to do a stand-up in a public platform, use some profanity and talk about uncomfortable subjects, with wit, humor and intellect!!! A woman like this deserves praise just for the boundaries and barriers aline she has managed to break and still persevere and be able to practise what she believes in.
    So big-hearted and open-minded of all the westerners and others who've commented here supporting a funny and intelligent Muslim woman, who to hundreds and thousands of unevolved Muslim men is just an object with 3 roles : sex - when he wants it, bearing and looking-after his children and most important of all having to fully looking after him - a grown adult - and his home with zero input from him.
    So glad that Fatiha has managed to break this cycle and live an honourable life for herself, YOU GO GIRL and hope you go far!!!

    What a relaxed, natural and strong character Fatiha is. The set was polished, unique and contained some real belters. It wasn't hilarious, it was better than that, under a tight reign and full of meaningful substance dressed up perfectly as comedy.
    Being a Hijabi girl she is perfectly placed and will never run short of material.
    It takes talent to put a performance like that together and she has bundles of that in hand. And has the punchlines to boot.
    Yes, and also well done Mr Howard, good call! 😎👍🏻
