(328) PART 2 - Jamali Maddix: how nearly dying from a blood infection led me to become a comedian

Welcome back to Private Parts, the podcast where nothing is off limits, and welcome to your Friday episode!  This week, Jamie is joined in the studio by comedian Jamali Maddix. Jamali chats to Jamie about being diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia at school and how this affected him, how he got into stand up and how he nearly died not once… but twice. Jamali also tells Jamie that a very famous comedian told him to drop out of uni to pursue stand up full time, but who was it? Plus, he reveals all about his time as a contestant on Taskmaster and his Vice documentary series, Hate Thy Neighbour.
