ALI G IS NOT A RACIST CULTURE VULTURE! ALI G CANCELLED? The Racism & Cultural Appropriation Debate
The Shizzio ShowShow Notes
RESPECT! 🇬🇧😂 Ali G is back… and we've got A LOT to talk about.
In this episode, we sit down with Dani B, who's spent over 20 years bringing one of Britain's most iconic comedy characters to life. From the upcoming NEW Ali G movie and his encounters with Sacha Baron Cohen to the controversial questions surrounding Ali G's legacy, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
Who is the man behind the character? What was it like meeting Sacha Baron Cohen? Does he think Ali G would get away with the same comedy today? And what happens when you've spent so long in character that people think you're the real deal? We get into ALL of it. 👀
