When the 2020 Melbourne International Comedy Festival was cancelled due to the pandemic, this week’s cover star Nazeem Hussain started to talk to other comedians about the state of the world – and he recorded it. The result was Survivor’s Guide, a podcast aimed at reassuring young comedians (and everyone else) during the then unprecedented lockdown. Now, Hussain is on our screens for a new season of Hughesy, We Have a Problem – once again talking through the big issues, while having a laugh. He talks about his productive year away from the stage and new projects on the horizon. ●

azeem Hussain knows how to take the piss without starting fires. An observant Muslim who pokes fun at his Sri Lankan family heritage, an overhugging mother and over-achieving sisters (all of whom he loves dearly), Hussain has built a loyal following for his self-deprecating humour. Self-described as the “breakthrough brown guy” who delivers brown jokes, white jokes and gets tough on topics including racism, stereotypes and terrorism, Hussain manages to make the audience the butt of his comedy while making them laugh. “Audiences are looking for content that highlights the problems in the world they can’t articulate themselves,” Hussain says. “With comedy you get to cut out the bullshit and say what you feel. Our job is to connect dots where you don’t expect them to be connected. I’m just trying to make sense of the world around us while having a laugh.” Best known for his sketch comedy hit TV show Orange is the New Brown, the Melbourne comedian is returning as a regular on Channel 10’s comedy panel show Hughesy, We Have a Problem. Hussain met Dave Hughes more than 10 years ago while filming Channel 31’s Salam Cafe, a comedy show hosted by various Muslim panellists including Waleed Aly, and a second time backstage at the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala. “It was certainly a fan-boy moment,” he recalls. “I have his number in my phone now and still get excited when it lights up and says Dave Hughes is calling.” Working alongside the funniest man he knows doesn’t really feel like work. “To do a show like Hughesy you have to trust your comedic instinct,” Hussain says. “The culture on the show is, if you have something to say, just say it. The other comedians will go with whatever idea is thrown up in the air. “We all know each other and we’re all good friends. We laugh off air as much as we do on air and the chemistry is great.” Off camera, you’ll find him scouring media headlines for his next comedic hook and he says COVID has given him plenty of material to pursue. While 2020 was a year most of us would rather forget, Hussain says he made the most of his time off the road, spending it with his three-year-old son, Eesa. He released an Audible Original Podcast Rogue Son (retelling his journey back to his ancestral land much against his mother’s wishes) and worked with

Laughing through the big problems producer James Milsom on another podcast titled Survivor’s Guide – with a new season due this year. And, if that weren’t enough, he wrote a novel aimed at kids aged nine and above – in the vein of Aaron Blabey’s Bad Guys series meets Anh Do’s Weirdos – due for release later this year. Hussain is certainly riding his peak wave right now and deservedly so, revealing he’s also making a new TV show – his most personal work yet. “It’s unlike anything I have done before, a narrative comedy that is semi-autobiographical,” Hussain says. “I frequently feel out of my depth working on the new material, but am constantly reassured by those around me that it’s okay, this is how you’re meant to feel,” Hussain says. “It’s kind of scary but exciting at the same time.”

Hussain returns to the Comedy Republic Theatre in Melbourne on March 3 with stand-up show Party Animal – and if the title riffs on the irony of the year that was, we can’t wait to see what cracking gags he has lined up. “I haven’t gone bankrupt and I have a roof over my head so I always look at the upside,” he says. “I was one week into a national tour for the Melbourne Comedy Festival when it got cancelled last year, and had to refund tickets. “Everyone working on the tour lost employment, some went back overseas due to work visas being defunct, yet I was able to find myself some work,” Hussain says. “It gave me time to focus on those things I put off due to the demands of live shows. It felt like a nice punctuation in my career; and, to be honest, my

“Our job is to connect dots where you don’t expect them to be connected. I’m just trying to make sense of the world around us while having a laugh.” career hadn’t stopped until the pandemic. It gave me perspective,” Hussain says. For someone who made a career dismantling the stereotypes of Muslims, Hussain has mixed feelings about racism in the world today. “In some ways a lot of things have changed but a lot has hardened,” he says, noting the stark contrast between world events such as the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings and US President Joe Biden’s recent overturning of the country’s Muslim ban. “There are so many extremes. I still think anyone caught doing or saying racist things should have to wear a T-shirt to apologise. “They need to stand on a corner and we shame them into being normal,” he laughs. “There has to be a way to change people’s behaviour.” While Hussain doesn’t have the answers, he is certainly using his comedy to help steer the world into a more tolerant and happier place. ● The pandemic gave Nazeem Hussain perspective

iana Chan prefers eating lunch with a bit of rubbish blowing around, maybe even a glimpse of a rat. Not that the bayside home where she entertains friends every weekend needs cleaning. Rather, for her, Asian cuisine’s “heart and soul” is its street food. Chan, the 2017 MasterChef winner, is back on our TV screens with a new series of Asia Unplated with Diana Chan, focusing each week on one Asian cuisine. Passionate about them all, her soft spot is the Malaysian street food of her childhood. Filming the Malaysian episode was disrupted by border closures, requiring a substitute guest chef. Cue cousin Karen Chan. “Having a family member on the show was quite nostalgic,” Chan says. Born in Johor Bahru, in the south of the Malay Peninsula, Chan, now 34, moved to Kuala Lumpur at 17 for senior high school. There, her eyes and taste buds were opened to the rich variety of local food. She tries to be unbiased, praising the food of Hong Kong and others discovered through her show. “I’ve learned so much, especially from a lot of the chefs that come in,” she enthuses. “There were a couple of episodes [in which] I was a bit unsure [about the cuisine], for example, Cambodian and Laotian. I had not been there, although I’ve travelled extensively throughout Asia. I did a lot of research.” For the March 11 Laotian food episode with chef Jerry Mai, that meant watching “countless videos” on making traditional spicy sai oua sausage. The show aims to demystify Asian cuisine with something for everyone: classic dishes, how-tos from chefs teaching more complicated restaurant dishes and explaining ingredients, friends and family offering “simple-to-make, just easy home cooking”. Chan knows cooking each cuisine’s favourites can be scary to the uninitiated. “The ones that you find everywhere, but people often don’t make it at home because they think it is too hard, so let’s break it down for them and show them how to do it because it is not that hard.” Since her MasterChef win Chan has run a sevenmonth pop-up restaurant, Chanteen in Melbourne, has a frozen dumpling range in supermarkets and is launching a homewares range, inspired by styling her dishes during Melbourne’s lockdown. “I want to cook beautiful food, but lay it out beautifully and I want people to have the same experience at home as they would in a restaurant.” ● ASIA UNPLATED WITH DIANA CHAN \ Season 2 airs Thursdays at 8pm on SBS Food.

n Australia, we associate Tex-Mex with chain restaurants and overcooked fajitas. In Texas, it's a legitimate cuisine, introduced by Tejanos, the descendants of Mexican people who immigrated to the States. Before July 2020, we didn't have TexMex worth talking about. That was the date Paul Walcutt and Kady Simkins first rolled up beside the Maribyrnong River in their food truck, Dingo Ate My Taco. Paul grew up in Austin, where his family ran barbecue restaurants; Kady was raised between California and Alice Springs. Their white truck is scrawled with black exclamations ranging from ay que rico (Spanish

signature is birria quesa tacos. Birria is a soupy Mexican stew from Jalisco, traditionally made with goat. For the birria quesa tacos, the meat is shredded and served in a tortilla, with the broth set aside for dipping. Dingo Ate My Taco smokes brisket in the truck, separates the fat and broth from the protein, and then fries the tortilla in the fat. It's stuffed with the brisket, onion and coriander and glued together with melty Oaxacan cheese. There are other tacos, too. The most interesting are the vegan huitlacoche, a Mexican corn fungus, and the chorizo, made with wallaby, wild boar and pork mince. According to Kady, the wallaby is what makes it taste most like a traditional Mexican chorizo. Top tip: the dirty horcharta, a nutty rice milk beverage spiked with cold-brew coffee, does wonders for a foggy head.

hat does true luxury look like in the pandemic era? To developer Chapter Group the answer is simple. “The best measure is a sense of natural space,” says Chapter Group founder and director Dean Lefkos. He says purchasers’ priorities have moved from cafes and activity areas to open spaces. “Having access to space to walk the dog and breathe easily is more important now.” Monument, Chapter Group’s latest project, a joint venture with SHC Group, eloquently realises this desire. Directly opposite Orrong Romanis Reserve, the seven-level building houses just 24 residences on its 2200-square-metre site. There are views to the city over the parklands and large garden courtyards. A natural meadow will cover the rooftop to enhance local biodiversity and optimise the building’s energy efficiency. Lefkos says the pandemic has accelerated buyers’ lifestyle decisions. “Buyers are realising no one knows what is around the corner and want to live better now.” ● LIZ McLACHLAN

HOUSE OF THE WEEK GLEN IRIS \ 169 FINCH STREET 4

One day we will travel again. But until we can, we need architects to build our dreams of far away. This property, designed by Rob Mills, is a family home swathed in something alluringly exotic. Everything here – three living areas, zoned bedrooms, two double garages and sophisticated storage worthy of a Paris couture atelier – makes good sense for a busy young family. The home is close to private schools and Wattletree Road’s cafes. However, there’s something “un petit peu Loire Valley” about this house. Built of golden West Australian limestone and shrouded by vines, with a terrace overlooking a lap pool and spa below a towering hedge, the two-storey abode evokes a European romance. The current owners recently renovated the home from top to bottom, re-wiring, re-plumbing and commissioning new bathrooms and a timber and porcelain kitchen. Sydney designers Minosa flew down (pre-lockdowns) to oversee a glorious new style, including solid American oak parquetry, fully-tiled porcelain bathrooms and pure wool carpet the colour of caramel. Set behind birch trees and an iron-lace porch, the house presents an enchanting face to the street. The oak central hall leads to the staircase and powder room, then to the carpeted media lounge. Across the hall, the sitting room is elegant in a neutral palette and has a massive open fireplace with sculpted cherubs. French doors lead to the pergola and pool. Party people will love the open plan – a parquet dining area, a carpeted family zone with a gas log fireplace, more french doors – for how easily it allows poolside gatherings. In the kitchen, V-ZUG and Siemens ovens and a Vintec wine fridge sit amid dark timber cabinetry and an ivory porcelain island. The butler’s pantry leads to the laundry. On the first floor, two double bedrooms share a family bathroom, and bedroom three has an en suite. The enormous main bedroom, at the front, has a desk, a skylit dressing room and a lustrous twin en suite. The property has three-phase and solar power, a cellar and video security. ● ALISON BARCLAY property@domainreview.com.au Agent: Kay & Burton, Oliver Booth 0413 975 723 Price: $4.6 million-$5 million Expressions of interest: close noon, March 9

A landmark since 1867, Trawalla has a panorama of the city skyline to the Macedon Ranges. The mansion was built for merchant George Stevenson, who from the tower would watch his ships come in. Tiled fireplaces, a marble hall and a mighty iron-lace staircase rising to a stained-glass landing evoke a history that, in its restored beauty, is still very functional. The Paul Bangay-designed garden, planted in 2011, is a beautiful setting for family parties. The bay window drawing rooms, dining room, study, two lounges and a billiards room have high ceilings and a blissful airiness. The three-room caterer’s kitchen flows to a second dining room next to the 22-metre indoor pool.
