Susie Youssef grew up as one of six sisters in a big Lebanese family – a birthright she regularly mines for very funny life advice. (See: if you don’t have kids, you must never complain to your sisters about being “tired”.)
The Sydney-born comedian and actor is now a fixture on Australian screens. And while it may only be Susie who has made a career of it, a sense of humour runs in the family. Youssef counts a silly and altogether unique object that belonged to her grandfather as her most sacred possession. Here, she tells us about the family heirloom that just makes her laugh, along with the story of two other important personal belongings.
