Expect the unexpected as Simon finds out what makes his generally famous - but always interesting - guests tick.
Pax Assadi started working life as a vacuum cleaner salesman. Now he’s hoovering up plaudits as a stand-up comic, TV presenter and creator and star of Sky sitcom Raised by Refugees. Born in Auckland to a Pakistani mum and Iranian dad, he discusses representation in mainstream media, the one country where he’s experienced outright racism, and why the backlash against The Simpsons character Apu was unfair.
You can watch Raised by Refugees on Sky Go and Neon.
