Fizaa was named as an up-and-coming comedian and actor by The New York Times in an article listing Facial Recognition Comedy as one of the top 5 shows they were most excited to see at New York Comedy Festival. In 2023, Fizaa performed with FRC at the San Francisco Sketchfest for her fourth year in a row. The show has also been mentioned in Deadline, Daily Beast, Vulture, Screen Rant, Backstage, and more.
Fizaa was selected as a winner of Clubhouse's inaugural Creator First program in 2021. In addition to producing and hosting her pilot, the app ordered 12 episodes for the first season of FRC in the Facial Recognition Comedy Club. The show became one of the first social audio series of its kind on any social media platform.
