Egyptian-American comedian
Maria Shehata’s sharp and
original stand-up, combined with her quick-wit and crowd pleasing
conversational delivery has brought her appearances on Comedy Central’s
The
Watch List, Just Like Us: The Movie and several guest appearances on
Sirius
Satellite Radio. Her essays have been published all over the world,
from the
Italian magazine Stripped Stories to Kuwait’s Bazaar.
Maria has been invited to perform in
numerous comedy
festivals, such as the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival, the New
York
Underground Comedy Festival, The Los Angeles Middle Eastern Comedy
Festival,
The Women in Comedy Festival in Boston and the San Luis Obispo Comedy
Festival.
She has been seen in theatres from coast to coast, including Town Hall
with Maz
Jobrani in New York City, and with the Arab’s Gone Wild Comedy Tour at
the
House of Blues in Anaheim, California.
Maria’s comedy has
taken her from suburban life in Columbus, Ohio, to New York City and
now Los
Angeles, where she brings to the stage a point of view that is
hilarious,
unique, and yet still universal. Watch out for Maria on Bridging the
Gap: A
Middle Eastern Comedy Conference airing on Showtime!
