How To Change The Comedy Game feat. Hassan Phills

What’s up CCP fam?! We’re back with a brand new episode this week featuring one of the funniest people we know, Scarborough’s very own, @HassanPhills! In this week’s episode, we had a great conversation with Hassan about his start in the comedy scene, the journey he took to get there, the discrimination he faced as a black Muslim man, what it takes to accomplish your goal/dreams and much more. We left this conversation feeling inspired and uplifted and despite Hassan being a funny guy, we had some serious conversations about cancel culture and mental health.

PS- Hassan’s Friday & Saturday shows have sold out!!! But not to worry, he added a new date - Sunday @ 8PM. Details for tickets are on his IG linked below! Make sure you get your tickets asap!
