Comedians Nazeem Hussain and Aamer Rahman (formerly of Fear Of A Brown Planet) to feature on ABC's Australian Story.

ABC will screen an episode of Australian Story featuring comedians Nazeem Hussain and Aamer Rahman.

Hussain and Rahman met some ten years ago at events protesting against racism, raising funds for asylum seekers, and highlighting the problems of detention centres. The comedians decided to develop their individual acts into a satirical, racism-tackling show, Fear Of A Brown Planet. It garnered critical success locally and internationally for its provocative content, earning the pair sold-out shows and rave reviews. Despite this, the duo never stopped feeling like outsiders in the industry, and eventually disbanded to work on their solo acts.

The pair now reunite to present Australian Story: Divide And Conquer at 8pm on ABC.
