Hussain leads an all-star benefit in support of families and Muslim communities impacted by Christchurch's mosque attack. "The Muslim community in Australia and New Zealand are fairly tight, we sort of know each other," says Hussain. "I've prayed in that mosque, and the images that came through, the reality of what happened, was just shocking." I was speaking to [Dave] Hughesy backstage, and I said, 'I think we should do a benefit gig.' The sentiment seems to characterise Hussain's approach to his comedy, and his desire to organise the benefit.
