Khaled TheComic, Creator and Co-Founder of Arab-issh Comedy

- Khaled was born in Texas to (mostly) Palestinian parents and

raised in Indiana next door to his Lebanese grandmother. He brings a

fresh, smart perspective to comedy because of his experience as the

child of immigrants living the culture clash between Arab cultures

and being a first generation Arab-American. His comedy focuses on

lived experiences, stories of a family that settled into a

predominantly black neighborhood & the impact on his childhood. He

also incorporates his outside the box interpretations of human

behavior and motives.

Khaled TheComic Khaled currently resides with his wife in Chicago and has performed

at a wide range of comedy clubs in the US and Canada as a touring

Professional Stand Up Comic

comedian. He is the creator and co-founder of Arab-issh which is a

MJATT Productions
