ZAIN SHAMI is one of the first hijab-wearing comedians to perform stand-up in the world. Born in the Middle East, Zain and her parents relocated to Los Angeles when she was just two years old. As someone with very strong family and religious ties, yet an American lifestyle, she has a unique cultural perspective which she grapples with through lots of laughter and love! She has been featured on numerous TV shows and films, including the upcoming Netflix film Pomegranate, The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Syrian and many more. She may seem like your everyday auntie, but she’s a TikTok dancing, foodie loving, Arab-American woman trying to normalize the everyday life of a hijabi!
