from Halal Cartels · host Halal Cartels

It's an away-game episode. Gabe met Akau Jambo while he was performing a set at a coffee shop on the Lower East Side. Akau's is a riveting story, as the first English Language standup comedian coming out of South Sudan, the second youngest country in the world! Listen in as we talk about life in the refugee camps of Kenya, comedy in Uganda, and Akau's journey so far into becoming a global voice in stand-up.   Side note, Barbados is the new baby country among the nations of Earth.   Follow him at:  IG @akaujambo  Maybe one day soon Halal Cartels will do a live episode at the Juba International Comedy Fest in South Sudan, which Akau founded.
