Content Advice
Ismael's father tried to convert the state of Florida to Islam. He did not succeed.

This hilarious hour examines those efforts, and the impact they had on Ismael’s family.

‘Incredibly compelling‘
★★★★★ Three Weeks

Heavenly Baba is a show that needs to be seen to be believed, a hilarious and touching exploration of what it means to express oneself honestly and authentically, and how not to lose yourself in said expression.

Ismael is a comedian, writer and actor, currently writing on the upcoming animated show Mating Season, from the team behind Big Mouth (Netflix).
