Can strawberry jam work better than a painkiller? Listen to this week's episode of AATIFicial Intelligence as I take you through my experience with one of Lahore's 'finest' Hakim Saabs.

What was the first 60 minutes of stand-up comedy I ever did? Was it Muslims Do It 5 Times A Day? Nope. AATIFicial Intelligence? Good guess...but still incorrect. The first 60 minute stand-up comedy show I ever did was called 'Talk Roti To Me'. Let me tell you the story of my long association with the Leicester Square Theatre and the twists and turns that led me to the first of many sell-out shows. From hosting a free entry open-mic night every week, to performing a brand new show in front of a paying audience at an iconic theatre...it's a fun story!

How did a little idea about a holiday diary become an award-winning film? Listen as Aatif recounts the story of his first (and only) award-winning short documentary Postcards From Lahore. From a borrowed camera (Thanks Rai Lall), to a reluctant composer (thanks Ron Nandha) to an unlikely co-director (thanks Savvas Papasavva). The idea of putting together a selection of clips to show off the beauty and culture of the city of Lahore turned into a much bigger project. Here's the story. Plus, a little shout out for Hyde Panaser's forthcoming solo comedy debut at Angel Comedy.
