Podcasts about cack handed

Special re-release: In support of authors who have lost their homes in the tragic LA fires, we will be resharing their podcast episodes.Although Gina Yashere's path to comedy wasn't easy, writing her memoir, CACK-HANDED, in her own voice allowed her to work through some things she thought she had left behind. Now a legend in the comedy world, with a CBS sitcom that she created and stars in, Gina is reflecting on how she got to where she is. She shares what growing up as the daughter of two Nigerian immigrants in the U.K. was like in the 1980s, why she turned to comedy as a way to mitigate some of the racialized violence she experienced, and how writing this book helped her understand her mother in a brand-new way.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3E7L8fGShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

In this week's episode of the BGN Podcast, we welcome stand-up comedian and author Gina Yashere. Standup comedian Gina Yashere recently released her memoir Cack-Handed, which chronicles the story of growing up as a child of Nigerian immigrants in working-class London to becoming the first female engineer with the UK branch of Otis, the largest elevator company in the world. Her time at Otis was a baptism by fire dealing with racist and sexist co-workers, so she left to become a stand-up comic and became one of the top comedians in the UK. Gina then came to the U.S. as a finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing in 2007 and never left! A few years ago, Chuck Lorre found her standup online and reached out to her to co-create, produce, write and act in the CBS comedy series 'Bob Hearts Abishola'. The show captures the heart of the Nigerian immigrant experience and many of the stories are pulled from Gina's personal life.  Host: Ryanne Music by: Sammus Edited by: Jamie Broadnax

Comedian Gina Yashere's new memoir is titled ‘Cack-Handed,' which, she explains, means “left-handed or awkward and clumsy, which I am all of these things.” She's also the first Brit to perform on ‘Def Comedy Jam,' a one-time Senior British Correspondent for ‘The Daily Show' and the co-creator with Chuck Lorre of the CBS sitcom ‘Bob Hearts Abishola,' which uses her Nigerian heritage as comedic inspiration. She originally thought he was trying to exploit her and is really glad she gave him a second chance. We get into all of it on this week's episode and Yashere reveals the unique challenges she has faced in the entertainment industry and shares her thoughts about “that pug-faced twat” Piers Morgan.Follow Gina Yashere on Twitter @ginayashere and Instagram @ginayashereFollow Matt Wilstein on Twitter @mattwilsteinFollow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod Highlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast.
