Listen Later

Aisha Alfa is an award-winning comedian as well as an actor, writer and host who can currently be seen co-starring with Kaley Cuoco & Chris Messina in the new dark comedy thriller BASED ON A TRUE STORY, created by Craig Rosenberg and Jason Bateman.

Aisha was previously seen in GOOD TROUBLE, SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS and multiple seasons of DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION & THE NEXT CLASS. 

Her incredible life and upbringing has given her a comedic edge and vision to see the world with a much broader lens. She was born in Nigeria, raised in Canada, lived in South Korea and France and now calls Los Angeles home.   

Aisha recently released her debut comedy album ALL THE PARTS (produced by All Things Comedy—Bill Burr & Al Madrigal), produced the YouTube interview series PLUS ONE about motherhood, pregnancy and fertility, and launched her own podcast titled, THE SHOUT OUT SHOW, available on all podcast platforms.  

Aisha has travelled the world performing comedy including the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal (Trevor Noah Gala, Kevin Hart LOL, and Homegrown), South Africa (Goliath Club, Cape (Town Comedy Club), Switzerland (Montreux Festival) and more.  Aisha was also a Bob Curry Fellow at Second City, an NBC STAND UP Finalist, nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award and a past winner of Winnipeg’s Funniest Person with a Day Job from Rumor’s Comedy Club.

We chat about her previous life as a professional soccer player, wedding planner and a coach, collaboration, finding your voice and performing, authenticity, passion, abundance and happiness.

Just to note this chat was recorded prior to the writers strike*.

The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day after release)!
