Zahra Noorbakhsh is a comedian and the host of the hit podcast #GoodMuslimBadMuslim, which is all about the best and worst things about being a Muslim woman in the U.S. She's in Toronto this weekend at the Aga Khan Museum to perform her stand-up show On Behalf of All Muslims: A Comedy Special. She joined Tom Power live in the q studio to tell us more about her comedy — whether it's using humour to protect her mom from hate crimes or flopping at her first open mic at a laundromat.
