Comedian - Tamer Kattan - Comedy: The International Powerhouse of Award-Winning Comedy

Tamer Kattan is a powerhouse of a headliner, an Egyptian-American comedian who was, in his own words, born an outsider and has stayed there ever since. Dropped into a family of Muslims, Christians, and Jews, he has a uniquely deep understanding of the human condition, which he uses to craft comedy that is deep, thoughtful, and world-class funny.   

A Global Comedy Education

Tamer is a comedian who has bled for his craft, sharpening his skills over 13 years in the meanest and most competitive comedy cities in the world: New York, Los Angeles, and London. This experience has given him a style that feels like it was forged in the streets of NYC, but his perspective is truly global. He has performed for UN troops in Afghanistan, toured Europe extensively, and even performed in Egypt during the Arab Spring. Now based in Berlin, he is a true international headliner.   

Comedy Style: Bringing People Together

At a time when comedy can sometimes feel divisive, Tamer’s work brings people together by making them laugh and think at the same time. His humour is rooted in his uncommon real-life experiences, from being the product of a Muslim father and a Jewish mother to being raised by a Mexican street gang in LA. This background has gifted him the ability to navigate dangerous and sensitive topics with a lovable smile and a socially intelligent style that uncovers hard-to-hear but essential truths. His podcast, They Tried to Bury Us, perfectly encapsulates his goal: to remind us that the only real division is between all of us and the forces of hate and greed.   

An Award-Winning International Star

The powerful, feel-good nature of Comedian Tamer Kattan comedy has earned him numerous awards and a massive international following. He is the winner of The World Series of Comedy, truTV’s Comedy KO, and The Portland Comedy Festival. He has appeared at Seth Rogen’s Hilarity for Charity event alongside comedy giants like Todd Glass and Hannibal Buress, and has opened for stars like Maz Jobrani and Iliza Schlesinger.   

He has TV and radio credits in the UK on the BBC and SkyTV, as well as in the US on FOX, HULU, and Netflix. Online, he is a viral sensation, with a social media following nearing 200,000 across all platforms. His collaborations with creators like Anwar Jibawi have amassed tens of millions of views on YouTube, showcasing his widespread appeal.
