BUCKiT® #67-Sabrina Jalees: Stand Up Comedian on Her Crazy and Unpredictable Journey to Network Television

Sabrina Jalees is a comedian, writer, and actor who's been described as “the lesbian Ray Romano we’ve all been waiting for”. She started doing stand-up when she was 16 and has been making people laugh since on series like Netflix's "The Comedy Lineup,” “Search Party,” “Transparent,” “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore,” “Last Comic Standing,” “Adam Devine's House Party,” “Best Week Ever” and now CBS’s brand new series, starring Patricia Heaton, “Carol’s Second Act.” After working up the courage to tell the Muslim side of her family – she was shunned for coming out - Sabrina learned the hard way that standing up and taking pride in who she was, would not only enhance her material as a comedian, but would lead to a fulfilling life, full of crazy coincidences, life changing surf lessons and an entirely unexpected career path. She has not looked back since. I caught up with her during the filming of her new series. She is now in prime time TV, proudly representing on camera something that was unimaginable to her as a kid.
