Is there bacon in heaven? : a memoir / Ali Hassan. by Hassan, Ali (Actor) Simon & Schuster Canada, 2022. Call #: 792.76028 H353i Subjects Hassan, Ali (Actor)   Comedians -- Canada -- Biography.   Actors and actresses -- Canada -- Biography.   Television personalities -- Canada -- Biography.   Muslims -- Canada -- Biography.   Pakistani Canadians -- Biography.   Canadian wit and humor -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781982149178 (trade pbk) Edition:  Simon & Schuster Canada ed. Description:  viii, 229 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "For fans of Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, and Mark Critch comes a hilarious debut memoir about life growing up on the outside and finding one's place in the world, by stand-up comic and popular CBC host, Ali Hassan. Growing up, Ali Hassan was a chameleon. His friends came from many different backgrounds and religions -- Trinidadian, Parsi, Goan, Hindu, Christian, Sikh. And as a hockey-playing, crockpot-using young man who also knew the words to at least ten Neil Young songs, he could blend in everywhere. But the world has a funny way of reminding you who you are, and his Muslim Pakistani family and community did, too. In this hilarious and insightful memoir based on his hit stand-up comedy, Hassan shares his life-long journey to becoming a cultural Muslim -- learning to walk the line of embracing his heritage while still following his passions. From failing to learn Arabic -- or much of anything, really -- in Sunday school and visiting family in Pakistan (who mocked him constantly) to discovering the wonders of pepperoni as a teenager and being a celebrity judge at Ribfest, Hassan finds himself in compromising situations that challenge his beliefs and very identity. And along the way, his friends and family are there to either encourage or criticize, something he finds eternally confusing. Now, as a father of four, Hassan must explain his point of view to his children. But he can't just 'give them' an identity as a cultural Muslim. Sharing his story is the next best thing. Entertaining and heartfelt, this debut showcases why Hassan is one of Canada's most popular comedians, as he explores that deep need that exists in us all: to belong."--Publisher.
