Maysoon Zayid

Zeinab Badawi speaks to comedian, actor and disability advocate Maysoon Zayid, who was born in the United States to Palestinian immigrant parents. Since birth, she has been living with cerebral palsy, a condition that affects the brain and nervous system. The conversation explores the power of comedy - particularly its ability to help people overcome disadvantage and prejudice - and asks where the line needs to be drawn between humour and going too far.
