About Nazeem Hussain
Nazeem Hussain is an Australian comedian, actor, and television and radio presenter. He is best known as the creator and star of two television comedy shows, Legally Brown and Orange Is the New Brown. He also has multiple comedy specials, including Nazeem Hussain: Public Frenemy (2019) on Netflix and Hussain in the Membrane (2022) on YouTube, and appeared as a correspondent for both seasons of the Netflix series Bill Nye Saves the World. He released his first children's book series, Hy-larious Hyena, through Scholastic Australia in 2022.
Hussain was raised in Melbourne, Victoria, to parents of Sri Lankan descent. His parents met in London and moved to Melbourne for his father's work, but separated when he was six. He attended Ashburton Primary School and Melbourne High School, and some of his comedic work is based on the bullying and racism he experienced as a child. He later graduated from Deakin University with degrees in law and science. As a stand-up comic, he was awarded the Best Newcomer Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2008 and has been nominated for the Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performer.
Hussain has performed around the world, including sold-out tours at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and London's Soho Theatre, and opened for Dave Chappelle and Aziz Ansari. His Netflix special Public Frenemy, filmed at Montreal's Just for Laughs festival, began streaming worldwide in 2019. On television he co-wrote the cult-hit show Salam Cafe on SBS, created and led Legally Brown (2013-2014), and reached the Grand Finale of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2017 after 46 days. His first podcast, Burn Your Passport, won iTunes Best Comedy Podcast in 2016.
