About

Lebanese-Palestinian-Syrian-Italian-American, born in Oakland, California, Sammy Obeid is best known for his 1,001 day streak of consecutive comedy performances. It began on December 26th, 2010, and concluded on September 21st, 2013- four days after an appearance on TBS's Conan. Breaking the old world record on Day 731, Sammy set the new one at 1,001 Arabian Nights of Comedy.

Over the course of the streak, he appeared on NBC's America's Got Talent and advanced to the Las Vegas round, and became the first comedian to perform on The Food Network in Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Splitsider conducted an extensive interview with him entering the home stretch. LA Weekly praised Sammy's "sheer force of will" in performance and lifestyle, and LA Mag recommended his show highly. He was profiled in TIME Magazine, followed soon after by an article in the New York Times. Published on his final day, it describes his material as "full of wordplay" and "clever misdirection."

Chunks of his streak were spent as youngest member of both the CoExist Comedy and Axis of Evil: New Generation national tours. Capping the streak, his debut album, Get Funny or Die Trying, was named a Best Comedy Album of 2013 by iTunes.

Sammy has founded his own comedy enterprise, KO Comedy, and enjoys giving unsolicited advice on his blog

    Sammy is amazing. He has new materials every time he's on stage

  • Incredible evening with Sammy and friends

    Really enjoyed ourselves at the Sammy show. He's funny, smart, really intelligent use of puns, and even managed to do crowd work in a massive venue. It was a long show, almost 3 hours with 3 opening acts. But I'm not complaining. Would see him again.

  • Loved Sammy’s show!

    Loved the show it had me in stitches…Sammy is probably the only math comic who does hilarious social commentary while still raising awareness about the injustices going on in the world around us

  • Interesting and worth the money

    Sammy Obeid is a real one! The way he connected with his entire audience was a pleasure to witness! Love you Sammy! Free free Palestine!

  • Absolutely fantastic, 5 Stars

    Sammy Obeid’s show was outstanding. Thoughtful and witty, he had me laughing so hard that I broke a tiny blood vessel in my eye (yes I will follow up with my eye doctor). I will definitely be booking tickets in the future, and will be organizing all my friends to see him as well. I’m so very glad I attended, and it was a beautiful venue on top of it all!

  • Amazing

    Fantastic show! Sammy is a brilliant person, and his jokes are on point. We enjoyed it!

  • SO GENUINE

    by T.EBEID on 2024-11-11London Music Hall - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    Samy is an incredibly humble and kind comedian. His show was full of fun, and his comedy tugs at your heartstrings. I hope to see him again in London, ON.

  • He does what he's supposed to!

    by Shimmy on 2024-11-11London Music Hall - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    He's absolutely hilarious! My friend and I loved and enjoyed the show. Will most likely see him again next year!

  • Even better than last year

    by mj on 2024-05-21Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I saw Sammy in Toronto a year ago after finding him online. He was so good live especially with his crowd work. I didn't expect with the size of the venue this year that he'd be able to do crowd work, but he kept us all so engaged. This set felt like it was ready to be a special. The openers were excellent too -- I just saw Hassan Phils earlier in the month and was so excited to see him again. Sammy also introduced us to Sean Reilly who was hilarious as well. I appreciated that the sound wasn't too loud and the seats were extremely comfortable. It was a really excellent performance, especially when you consider they had just flown in that day. I can't wait to see him again next time he's in town!
