She finished her degree and worked for a few years in finance before taking the leap and working in comedy full-time as a television writer and stand-up comic.\n\nBrutally honest in her routines, Nour draws on her experience as a Muslim woman of colour making her own way on a career path that can sometimes be unwelcoming.\n\n“You know, it kind of takes over your life. There’s a rush when you do stand-up comedy that's unlike anything else. To get up there the adrenaline is, you know, pumping through your body. And to make people laugh, it feels like acceptance.”"}
