Australian comedian Nazeem Hussain says being a Muslim in his field can be the 'elephant in the room'.
Hussain told Larry Williams that there can be a lot of suspicion directed at Muslims in Australia, and that there can be friction between being Muslim and living in the West.
However, he says he's found ways to find humour in his identity, and says comedy can be a "good way to talk about things that might ordinarily depress us."
"As a comedian you need to be punching in all directions, so I definitely make fun of people's lack of understanding of my life and my beliefs."Â
