Overview

Professional comedian with 30 minute specials on Comedy Central, Epix and Drybar. Featured by Kevin Hart by Hart of the City and Colbert. Perfect for Corporates, parties, virtual and special events. Can work with a variety of budgets. Voted Minneapolis' Best Comic by City Pages and Winner of Acmes' Twin Cities Funniest Person. I also won Best in the Midwest in the Gilda's Laughfest. My special can be watched on Drybar.

5 Stars Plus...

I would have put in more than 5 stars if it was a possibility!! He had a young comedian Ebenezer that did a fantastic job warming up the crowd. Ali was open to our pre-event suggestions and also did an unbelievable job reading the crowd and engaging everyone. Ali's background and ability to pull from those experiences had everyone rolling. The rest of the evening and the following days conversations were on how entertained everyone was. I just can't say enough about Ali, his before event communications and obviously the night of performance were all well above our expectations. Thank You again Ali for setting a new bar for our event entertainment going forward! Jon

Hilarious & Engaging

Ali was great! He was very attentive to the crowd, played us like a fiddle and had the company rolling. Was a lot of fun for our company Christmas Party and the team is still talking about it days later!

Great Show

Great experience! Booked for a ticketed comedy night at Bye the Willow. Ali was funny, personable, and a pleasure to have in our establishment!! We’ve had many inquiries about another comedy night.

Out Loud Laughter

We hired Ali for a corporate event to perform. Our meeting was at 8:00 on a Monday morning so comedy isn't the first thing on peoples mind at a business meeting. Ali crushed it. We had a blast and the employees had tons of positive comments. After a year of not being able to have "live" speakers or entertainment, Ali was the best medicine for all of us.

About

Ali Sultan saw his first stand up comedian when he moved to America from Yemen at the age of 15. He grew the desire to go on stage but first he needed to learn English.
Ali is the first professional Yemeni American comedian to be featured on Television when Kevin Hart hand picked him to perform on Comedy Central’s Hart of The City. He filmed his Half Hour comedy special in Dubai for Comedy Central Arabia.He was named both Best Local Comic and artist of the year by City Pages. He represented Minnesota and won the Best in The Midwest competition at Gildas LaughFest. His album happy to be here debuted at #2 on iTunes and can be heard on iTunes, Spotify, Sirius Xm and has over 700k streams on Pandora. Ali also performs clean comedy for Colleges, non profits and cooperates. When Ali isn’t telling jokes Ali enjoys doing a podcast where he reviews movies we grew up watching to see if they aged well! His latest 2021 special can be seen on Wanda Skyes Unprotected Sets on Epix.
