At this point in life, some choices might have seemed inconsequential, while others were major life choices. But in the end, all of these choices form together to create the person you are today and the life you live. Adding some comical humor to some of life’s wildest questions, comedian Kazeem Rahman puts your mind, morals, and funnybone to the ultimate test in a weekly podcast entitled Tough Choice w/ Kazeem Rahman.
Tough Choice is a comedy podcast where guests come and play a sick, twisted game of ‘Would You Rather.’ Kazeem Rahman hosts the show that some call “25 minutes of hilarious ignorance.”
In this episode, comedian Erin Tracy returns to glory and thinks she can pull off a handlebar mustache.
Kazeem Raham (@kazeemraham): Hailing from Houston, TX, Kazeem Rahman has been heating up the comedy scene for some time now. His unapologetic humor keeps audiences at the edge of their seats and laughing from the moment he hits the stage.
