Show notes

In this bonus episode we're so excited to introduce Tamer Kattan to our Ethnically Ambiguous fam! He's a hilarious comedian we both met while performing at the Arab Spring Break Comedy show and now we're all obsessed with each other. Tamer's life story is fascinating and inspiring; we talk about his upbringing as a mixed-race Egyptian immigrant, his tumultuous relationship with his father, and how he changed careers eight years ago in order to pursue comedy. And we're so glad he did, because his voice is one we've all been waiting for. Follow Tamer on Twitter @TamerKattan and Instagram @TamerKat!
