Listen to Raza share his first comedy influences, food habits, and playful tendencies.

Raza is a comedian hailing from the lovely city of Chicago. His style dances on the edge of taboo and plays with words to give his act a roller coaster ride quality. He has an acerbic taste that mocks both himself and anyone else in a mostly balanced way. Raza produces and hosts 'Night Cap' at the Comedy Clubhouse Fridays at 10pm.
