Sammy Obeid, a mathematician turned comedian, has gained widespread acclaim for his innovative approach to comedy. He is particularly renowned for his remarkable achievement of performing 1,001 consecutive shows, a streak that garnered attention after his appearance on the acclaimed show America’s Got Talent. However, this impressive run ended shortly after his guest spot on The Conan O’Brien Show in 2013. Obeid’s unique heritage, which includes Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, and Italian American backgrounds, enriches his performances and contributes to his poignant critiques of various social issues.
The comedian has made appearances on multiple platforms, including NBC’s Last Comic Standing and Food Network’s Throwdown with Bobby Flay. His comedy often intertwines humor with serious critiques of modern hypocrisies surrounding race, politics, and social injustices, with a particular focus on Palestine. This blend of humor and hard-hitting commentary has earned Obeid a reputation for performing smart and subversive comedy, a style noted by The New York Times.
Tickets for the show are priced between $36.34 and $48.70 and can be purchased directly through the venue. The event will take place at the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club, located at 618 NW Loop 410 in San Antonio. Potential attendees can find out more information by contacting the club at (210) 541-8805 or visiting their website at improvtx.com.
Obeid’s journey in comedy started as a side pursuit alongside his academic career in mathematics. His debut comedy album, Get Funny or Die Trying, was recognized as one of iTunes’ Best Comedy Albums of 2013, signaling his transition from academia to a full-time career in comedy. Over the years, he has toured with notable groups such as CoExist Comedy and the Axis of Evil: New Generation, further expanding his audience and influence within the comedy world.
As audiences look forward to the May performance, Obeid continues to redefine the boundaries of comedy by seamlessly merging education and entertainment. For those interested in both laughter and learning, this event represents a remarkable opportunity to experience the talent of a unique voice in the comedy landscape.
