Dina Hashem is a New York based stand up comedian and tv writer for The Daily Show . Her debut comedy special "Dark Little Whispers" premiered in November on Amazon Prime and can be streamed right now. Dina grew up in a strict muslim home and didn't find her way to comedy until she was attending college. After winning the first stand up comedy competition she became addicted and knew that she wanted to do that for the rest of her life. It took a decade of performing before her career really took off, but now she has become one of the fastest growing names in the industry.

In this episode we discuss early inspirations from watching cartoons, juggling day jobs, working for Nickelodeon, writing for tv shows, performing around the country, playing the drums with her music idols, and so much more.
