FULL BIO & CREDITS
A product of clashing cultures and contemporary chaos, Abdullah’s lively yet authentic humour has placed him among the most promising young acts in the country. He is a writer on the critically acclaimed television show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, as well as having written for the award winning CBC digital series Street Cents. As a standup, Abdullah has been featured on CBC’s “Inside Comedy” (CBC TV, CBC Gem), Just For Laughs Toronto, CBC Radio, and he was the winner of “Ottawa’s Top Comic” in 2019. His humour is drawn from his tales as a Pakistani immigrant, goofy personal hinjinx, and political banter, all wrapped in an engaging stage presence and peppered with crowd interactions.
