Ibby Akbar

Soon to kick off his debut comedy stage tour, the Aussie character comedian, stand-up and social media sensation takes us through his last day on Earth…

How do you want to leave this world?
By saving orphans from a burning building whilst stopping a terrorist attack.

Do you have any deathbed confessions?
Yes, but I’ll save them for my deathbed otherwise if I reveal them now people might put me in my deathbed earlier than I’d like.

What’s your last meal?
A nice fresh juicy steak… or anything my mum cooks. Please tell her I said that.

What do you know now that you didn’t at 18?
I’d like to say a lot but I’m pretty sure I know less now than I did when I was 18.

What is your proudest accomplishment?
Being a father. I’m not a father yet, nor do I plan to be anytime soon, BUT I can imagine I’d be pretty proud.

What can audiences expect from your debut tour?
A guaranteed night of laughter based on my views of the world and my personal experiences — so, overall a good time.

To whom on Earth do you owe an apology?
Probably my parents for being somewhat of a disappointment… did you tell my mum I said I like her cooking?

What are your friends saying over your casket?
“F—k, I can’t believe he died saving orphans from a terrorist attack, typical Ibby.”

What or who would you like to be reincarnated as?
No-one. I hope I would have lived a life good enough to not want to come back.

What’s the dumbest thing you ever did on Earth?
Rubbing deep heat on my balls, it’s a long story but it was not a good time.

What’s written on your tombstone?
“Here lies Ibby, saviour of orphans from burning buildings and terrorist attacks.”

Finally, any regrets?
Not yet, but if I do in the future can I change my answer about the reincarnation question? ■
