About

Yemeni-Ethiopian Comedian

Ali Sultan saw his first stand-up comedian after moving to America from Yemen at the age of 15. He developed a desire to go on stage, but first, he needed to learn English.

Ali became the first Yemeni-Ethiopian American to make a stand-up television network debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He has appeared on Comedy Central’s Hart of the City with Kevin Hart and filmed his half-hour comedy special in Dubai for Comedy Central Arabia. He also represented Minnesota and won the Best in the Midwest competition at Gilda’s LaughFest.

His albums Happy to Be Here and Funny First can be heard on Spotify and SiriusXM, and have garnered over one million streams on Pandora. His latest special from Dry Bar Comedy has received over a million views on YouTube.
