Quotes

Zakir Khan

Stand-up comedian

“When you are the first in your family to do something, you have to build a lot of bridges, so that the people who will come after don't have to suffer the same things you did. And that's what I've done for 10 years. As a result, in every city you have to have a little family, those who will come to your events, show you around, tell you about the place… make you feel ‘at home'”

“I've been touring for many years now… It's time for me to look after my health. I've tried to balance work and health but I need a time out to manage things. But I love to perform; I want to do it when I'm 80, which means I need to do this now”
