Comedian Guz Khan rose to fame appearing on shows like Man Like Mobeen and Live at the Apollo. And in 2021, when he joined the series Taskmaster 12, Guz’s fame skyrocketed.
But while the world has seen enough of Guz on screen, they know very little about his off-screen life; especially his married life. So here we are going to shed some light on who Guz Khan’s wife is and what is her name.
Who is Taskmaster star Guz Khan’s wife? What is her name?
As of September 2021, Taskmaster star Guz Khan is happily married to his wife and they live in Birmingham with their four children. Unfortunately, Guz did not share his wife’s name at the time.
However, Guz revealed his other half at an awards ceremony. They looked amazing together.
In addition to taking her to events, Guz also frequently gushes about his wife on social media. On June 4, 2019, Guz wrote, “And I’m a married man whose wife will stab him in the nuts if she happens to follow my tweets tonight.” It seems Guz’s wife is the boss.
Like father, like son. Guz’s kids are hilarious. Recalling a funny moment, Guz shared that his youngest son once pooped and put it on the table in Dixy Chicken.
Guz’s wife almost died of laughter at that moment.
The comedian also frequently posts photos of his children on IG. He calls his daughters “Little Somali Princesses” and believes they are the “most beloved blessings” in his life.
Fun fact: Guz once had a dream where Alesha Dixon got down on one knee and proposed to him in her MC Mis-Teeq voice.
Guz Khan Family
Born in Coventry, England, Guz Khan comes from an Anglo-Muslim family. He was originally named “Ghulam Khan” by his parents, which was later shortened to “Guz”.
Guz’s parents were reportedly Pakistani immigrants. And soon after, when Guz was three, his father passed away. Fortunately, the family found a guardian angel in a man named Zainab Khan, who raised Guz and his two sisters.
One of Guz’s siblings is named Ghulam.
Guz says his mother was the funniest person he knew—“Really rude, really funny, really crazy.” In addition to inheriting her sense of humor, Guz insists he also inherited her fierceness. “She used to slap skinheads in the ’70s and taught us not to let anyone bring us down,” he shares.
Guz Khan Net Worth
Guz Khan has earned a net worth of over $600 thousand in 2021.
Guz started out as an RE teacher, and it wasn’t until his late 20s that he started performing stand-up comedy. Guz recalls that when he first performed stand-up in the United States, he was scrutinized. However, within 10 minutes of his performance, people went from “I can’t believe they gave this Muslim a microphone” to “I love this guy, he’s so funny.”
Soon people began calling him “the new face of British Muslims”, and another challenge arose. He began to receive criticism from Muslims for swearing too much and “telling the truth”.
But what made Guz famous was his three-minute YouTube post about Spielberg’s Jurassic World and “Pakisaurus” in 2015. Since then, Guz has garnered a lot of attention and wealth, and he also initiated a program that allows local youth to get paid internships on his production team.
Guz’s comedic inspirations are Eddie Murphy and Dave Chappelle. He revealed that he used to watch Eddie Murphy Raw with his sister when they were kids.
As for the struggles Guz faced when he broke into the industry, he shared that “I didn’t struggle with myself.” But what kept him living rent-free was the fact that if he hadn’t written the character of Mobeen, he wouldn’t have been able to “explore that depth instead of just showing up and being funny.”
To his credit, Guz has been nominated for a BAFTA award twice.
When Guz isn’t working, he enjoys traveling, especially in his Mercedes GLS350. If you didn’t know, Guz is a car fanatic. One day, he hopes to buy a BMW M5 E60, Tesla Model 3, or Audi RS6 Avant (C7).
Fun fact: Guz also taught humanities at a struggling high school.
