Comedian Babatúndé Aléshé

Episode notes

The first flight comedian Babatúndé Aléshé went on was for a honeymoon of a lifetime to Barbados. Since then, as his stand-up career has blossomed, so have the opportunities for travel — and his destination bucket list is growing as he is excited to see the world with his young son. 

As they are both from home so much touring the comedy circuit, Russell and Babatúndé reflect on why travel is so important for connecting with their family. But they also grapple with the conflict they feel being able to give their kids so much more than they had — is it too much? Or simply an amazing opportunity to expose them to new cultures? 

They also get into his time in the Jungle, and how I’m A Celeb pushed him out of his comfort zone in more ways than one.
