Sammy Obeid

My eight years of experience and commitment to performance have put me in front of countless stages, each with unique audiences. From weddings to homeless shelters to retirement homes; if you can imagine a type of crowd, I've entertained them. This includes hosting showcases of performers and MCing as well.

You can expect a performer with the ability to engage with the specific needs of each show, tailoring my material to the room and occasion, while maintaining a rapid-fire clip of intelligent, engaging comedy. My diverse roots and degree in mathematics from UC-Berkeley have provided insights about family, relationships, language, and more. Yes, I even manage to make math funny.

Above all else, you can expect polite professionalism and punctuality, the sort required to manage my world-record streak of stand-up shows. After the event, I'm happy to greet and spend time with guests, same as I do after every college performance and their many students.

When I'm on board, you can expect a successful and funny evening. That's all there is to it.

After double majoring in Business and Mathematics at UC Berkeley, Sammy Obeid turned down a job at Google to be a comedian to make his parents extra proud. Sammy is the host of 100 Humans on Netflix and has also appeared on America's Got Talent, as well as TBS’s Conan. Obeid's style has been described as “intelligent,” “inspiring,” and “a youthful perspective that reaches all ages.” Blending his education and his background as a Lebanese-Palestinian American, Obeid is a favorite at colleges, voted "Fastest Rising Star” of 2014 in Campus Activities Magazine. As the youngest member of two national tours, The Next Generation of Comedy and CoExist, Sammy’s worked with Robin Williams, Russell Peters, Louis CK and more. He is also the first comedian to ever perform on the Food Network and is best know for his world record performing comedy 1,001 nights in a row, a story featured in both Time Magazine and The New York Times.

Between performing 1000+ seat theatres to college cafeterias to hole-in-the-wall dive bars, I guarantee that your equipment set-up will be satisfactory. I simply need a microphone, unless its a really small room.
