Overview

I am a comedian and emcee! I have performed at comedy clubs around the country, corporate events, weddings, and birthdays. My stand up comedy material is clean and appropriate for all ages. My material ranges from observational humor to stories of my childhood, as well as being a husband and father. I have placed in comedy competitions and festivals and have a lot of experience as both a comedian and emcee. As a former police officer, a dad, and a husband, I bring a unique perspective to the stage!

I make sure to be prompt, and adapt my material to whatever you need. You won't be disappointed hiring me as a comedian or emcee for your next event.

A lotta laughs

We hired Maher for a company holiday party and he was excellent. We all enjoyed him very much! His act was about 45 minutes to an hour and he was very funny and engaging. His dry sense of humor and storytelling had us all laughing the entire time. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him for any future events!!

Fantastic! 10/10 Recommend

Maher was incredible! He came into our office for a happy hour planned for our employees. It was a reschedule from a cancelled holiday party. He really played to the crowd, got involvement and we've had great feedback from all employees. I would totally work with Maher again!

Nothing but Rave Reviews

Maher was true perfection for a corporate comedy event. I was so impressed by his ability to capture his audience, even in a virtual environment. He interacted with attendees on camera or who used the chat function which created connection with his audience. His humor is clean, widely applicable, and he walks the line of politics and religion just perfectly for a very PC event. I have heard nothing but positive words about the Laugh Break we provided our organization. Highly recommended for his humor, his character, and his talents.

What to expect

My comedy material revolves around observational humor and story telling. I always perform clean meaning there is no cursing, and no excessive sexual content. I take pride in my stage presence and always perform with energy and excitement.

As an emcee, with experience at comedy clubs, weddings, corporate events, and birthdays, I always emcee with the client's needs and requests in mind. My ability to emcee a show professionally is important to me and I improvise well when needed!

About

I am a comedian and emcee with several years experience. When you book me for an event, you can expect a clean, appropriate for all ages show. I have performed in several comedy clubs across the country, corporate events, birthdays and weddings. I have also performed and placed in comedy competitions and festivals.

I was born in Lebanon and raised in the Deep South, and as a former police officer, a father and husband, I bring a unique and funny perspective to the stage! I am very comfortable on stage and can use my observational humor to make sure that your event is fun and exciting.

With experience at comedy cubs, corporate events, conventions, weddings and birthdays, I can make sure that your needs are met!
