Mohanad Elshieky is a New York-based, Libyan-born comedian who made his national TV debut on Conan and has been featured on Comedy Central. A writer/consultant on the hit podcast “Lovett or Leave It”, he was also one of the hosts of Lemonada’s webby nominated podcast I’M SORRY where each week they unravel the latest and greatest in Twitter gaffes, petty beef and not-so-subtle shade. This past year, he was named to The SF Sketchfest Dozen, a showcase for stand-up comedians who are on the verge of becoming The Next Big Thing. In 2018, he appeared in an episode of Epix’s “Unprotected Sets” and was listed as one of Thrillist’s 50 Best Undiscovered Comics. Mohanad has a special skill for making you laugh at the seemingly unlaughable. The Libyan-born comedian combines a deceptively laid-back demeanor with his whip-smart perspective on politics and culture. The Portland Mercury called him “an undisputed genius of comedy,” and he's been featured on podcasts such as “Pod Save the People” and “Harmontown”. He also toured across the country with the critically acclaimed storytelling show Pop Up Magazine and worked as a digital producer for Sam Bee’s critically acclaimed show Full Frontal . Elshieky zeroes in on topics that seem off limits - then surprises you with how hard you’re laughing. Follow Mohanad on twitter @MohanadElshieky.
