Early life
Mustafa is Iraqi-Kurdish[4] and of Czech descent.[5] He grew up in the town of Chessington and worked at Chessington World of Adventures in his teenage years. He was arrested in London at 14 for graffiti.[6]
Career
At university, Mustafa met Hugo Chegwin, Steve Stamp and Asim Chaudhry, with whom he created YouTube mockumentary videos about a fictional pirate radio station. This led to the group being commissioned for People Just Do Nothing, a BBC mockumentary about West London pirate radio station Kurupt FM. The pilot aired on BBC iPlayer in July 2012. The show ran for five series, winning a BAFTA and a Royal Television Society Award. In 2019, production began on a feature length adaptation of the series called People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan. The film was positively received by both fans and critics.[7]
Mustafa appeared in the 2020 Netflix film Love Wedding Repeat as Chaz, the boyfriend of Freida Pinto’s character Amanda.[8][9]
Mustafa starred for two series of the BBC Radio 4 sitcom Ability as the "useless carer" Bob, for the character played by comedian Lee Ridley, who also wrote the series.[10]
In 2022, he starred in the Channel 4 series The Curse,[11] and the BBC Three series Peacock.[12]
