He headlines and supports internationals including Jim Jefferies, Bassem Youssef, Steve Hughes and Effie, from comedy clubs to arenas.

Fady Kassab is a Sydney stand-up comedian and the winner of triple j’s RAW Comedy 2019, Australia’s biggest open-mic competition. He grew up in Lebanon during seventeen years of civil war, moved to Australia, and turned an incredible life into joyful, slightly dangerous stand-up that rooms of every background relate to.
He performs in English, Arabic and Lebanese, which makes him one of the few bilingual comedians in Australia who can hold a mainstream comedy club and an Arabic-speaking crowd in the same week. His solo shows have earned five-star reviews at the Adelaide Fringe and the Sydney Comedy Festival.
