Filmed in Melbourne and Sydney in front of a live audience, Salam Cafe offers the audience a compelling look at the funny side of life as an Australian Muslim today. Regular panellists include esteemed host Ahmed Imam, journalist and counter-terrorism expert Waleed Aly and the multi-talented Susan Carland. Also joining the team, straight from the comedy festival tour of their show Fear of a Brown Planet are Nazeem Hussain and Aamer Rahman who write and create sketch characters like Uncle Sam - a rumbustious tunic-wearing Muslim uncle, and Fatima “Teems” - the frustrated Muslim teenager who always has issues with her dad. Nazeem Hussain is also the resident barista of Salam Cafe and the show’s roving reporter, covering local events and giving the people a voice in the regular segment - Salam Cafe 2 Go! Ahmed Hassan, an eye surgeon whose mission is to save everyone's sight so that they can watch Salam Cafe, Dakhylina Madkhul and Toltu Tufa complete the on camera team.
