Lebanese-Syrian-Palestinian-Italian American (try saying it really fast) Sammy knows a lot about mixin’ it up. After double majoring in Business and Math at UC Berkeley -- which is why he does comedy now -- Obeid blends his college experience with his love for being the life of the party, breaking down the latest trending topics into woke jokes that make you laugh your abs into a six pack while simultaneously getting smarter. Voted "Fastest Rising Star” in Campus Activities Magazine, Sammy has appeared on NBC's America's Got Talent, Last Comic Standing, TBS’s Conan, and often reminds strangers that he was the first comedian to ever tell jokes on the Food Network (sorry Rachel Ray). In 2013, he may have even impressed his parents by setting a world record of performing comedy 1,001 consecutive nights, with his story featured in Time Magazine and The New York Times.
