‘Diary of a Badman’ YouTube series viewed by millions
INTERNET comedy sensation Humza Arshad will be headlining a nation-wide university comedy tour this month.
Humza is the UK’s most popular British Pakistani comedian after receiving millions of views for his ‘Diary of a Badman’ series on YouTube.
The video diary chronicles the life of a self-styled ‘Badman with seriously good looks’ as he attempts to impress girls, survive marriage offers via Skype and escape the wrath of his rolling pin-wielding mum.
The nine-part series has been viewed over 23,000,000 times on YouTube.
“Hopefully, the tour will show that British Pakistanis are about more than just kebab shops and taxis. Although, let’s face it, we do it best!” said Humza.
The tour is being organised by Azme Alishan a Pakistani campaign that aims to shift perceptions about the country and its culture.
