Comedian - Farah Sharp - Comedy: The English-Egyptian Ex-Engineer Analysing Modern Life

Farah Sharp is one of the most exciting and intelligent new voices on the UK comedy scene. An English-Egyptian comedian based in London, she brings a unique perspective and a brilliantly analytical mind to her stand-up, a skill honed during her previous career as a data engineer.  She is a comedian, presenter, and content creator who has been making a name for herself across the country with her unique style of humour.   

Farah’s heritage and professional background provide a rich foundation for her comedy. Her material often draws on her dual English-Egyptian upbringing and the relationships that have shaped her, exploring what she has (or has not) learned from them with a quirky and anecdotal style.  Her past life in STEM also spills into her comedy, with her sets often featuring a string of analytical breakdowns, sometimes complete with charts and formulae, to dissect the absurdities of modern life.  She is also a regular performer on the "Arabs Are Not Funny!" tour, a hugely successful comedy night that has played at venues like the Royal Albert Hall, showcasing the best comedic talent from the Arab world and beyond.    

With her mix of quirky opinions and sharp anecdotes, Comedian Farah Sharp has a unique style of comedy that is both deeply personal and cleverly analytical.  Her ability to apply an engineer's logic to the illogical nature of human behaviour results in a wonderfully fresh and hilarious take on the world. This unique style has not only made her a hit on the live circuit but has also turned her into a social media sensation. Her graph and code-inspired comedy videos, which capture her unique brand of humour, have amassed over 7 million views on Instagram and over 2 million on TikTok, turning complex topics like data analytics and physics into comedy gold.    

Farah has been making a name for herself across the UK and beyond, performing in Sydney, Australia, and at top London clubs like The Comedy Store and The West End Comedy Club.  Her talent has been recognised by the industry, being named 'One to watch' in the 2023 Funny Women Awards.  She has been featured on BBC Radio 4 and performed at major festivals like Latitude and Leeds Festival.  Farah is also a talented presenter, having hosted for National Geographic Traveller and Zoopla, showcasing her versatility and charm.  Her massive online following is a testament to her appeal, and you can find her hilarious content on Instagram and TikTok at @farahsharp.
