Comedian Nazareth joins us today and talks about his journey from Palestine to Kuwait to … Toledo and then Hollywood.
His passion for comedy ignited when he asked himself one day“What do I want to do in life that if I never get paid for itI’d still do it to the best of my ability?” Making people laugh was the only thing that came to mind. The next day he signed up at a California comedy club for open-mike night. He took the stage before a crowd of nine drunks. Nazareth recalls them laughing so hard that one of them fell off their chair. From the moment that he discovered his talent for bringing comic relief his desire to do it for a living was without question.
