During his stand-up performance, Leeper Mekki talked about his “weird” experience of growing up in a house with two religions, because his mom was Muslim and his dad was Christian.

Come on Mek, there’s no pressure. After all, you are eight. It’s about time you made a decision, you know. Don’t worry, one of us has to be wrong, so there is that. Why don’t you come back home after Little League and denounce one of your parents’ beliefs.” Growing up like that Leeper now believes it was a character-building for him.
