EP 94: Half-ing A Nice Day with Comedian Khalisah 🇲🇾🇺🇸
Join us for a fascinating and hilarious episode with Khalisah, a Dubai-based comedian and improv enthusiast who’s lived across the US, Malaysia, Spain, and the UAE. She brings her sharp wit and unique perspective on life, culture, and adapting to new environments.
In this episode, Khalisah (@khalululululu (https://www.instagram.com/khalululululu?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) ) shares eye-opening experiences from moving between different countries—navigating culture shocks in Spain, discovering the quirks of social systems, and learning the balance between independence and community. She talks about the lessons she learned from wealth, empathy, and resilience, and how improvising through life translates to both comedy and personal growth.
She also dives into the world of stand-up and improv comedy, revealing the difference between being solo on stage versus the supportive chaos of improv, and how starting over in new environments has shaped her as a performer and a person. Expect laughs, relatable stories, and some truly unexpected insights.

🌍 Alina’s unique experience of being both Pakistani and Russian, and her thoughts on identity.
✨ The heartfelt (and hilarious) story of how they met online – with a twist that involves 50 "wingmen."
We also explore their creative process, including how a small 3% tweak to an idea can turn it into something extraordinary. Plus, they share insights on navigating mental health while juggling creativity and entrepreneurship.
And of course, we couldn’t kick off the year without chatting about New Year’s resolutions and how they approach setting goals for the year ahead.
