TAHIR is an award winning, internationally acclaimed stand up comedian with a career spanning over two decades. He has co created and starred in the hit sitcoms StreetSmart and Here Come The Habibs, and is a Logie winning actor best known for Fat Pizza, Housos and three feature films. Tahir is one of Australia’s most beloved live performers.
In this episode, TAHIR brings that same energy to Onwards to Victory. We talk about why he only says yes to projects that look like fun, how being a “yes man to life” has shaped his career, and why he’s one of the only comedians who went on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! for reasons that weren’t tax related.
He shares hilarious stories from Fat Pizza and Housos, how politically incorrect those shows were, and why no network today would ever touch them. We dive into his start as a drama teacher, how he messes with latecomers to his shows, and how he accidentally became a “dealer” in real life after playing one on TV.
TAHIR also opens up about working hard, adapting to stay relevant in comedy, and why he’ll never have a “real job.” He even drops an exclusive that fans hate to find out. Packed with wisdom, wild stories and pure heart, including Magnus convincing him to swap clothes mid show despite his very clear no.
