About this Event
Syrian-American comedian Nasser Al-Rayess, known online as @naw_sir and the “Shawarma King,” has built an audience of more than one million followers with sharp observations on Arab-American identity, pop culture, current events, and the music he grew up around.
Nasser’s comedy is unapologetically specific. He turns his own experiences, cultural references, and love of popular Arab music into material that feels personal while still pulling audiences of all backgrounds into the joke.
MORE THAN A STAND-UP SET
Nasser’s live shows blend stand-up comedy, Arabic music, and the warmth of a traditional Arab gathering, creating an experience that feels distinctly his own.
His comedy celebrates Arab culture while exploring what it means to move through the world as part of the Arab-American and broader Arab diaspora. With a style built around identity, self-acceptance, and keen observational humor, Nasser is helping bring voices and experiences that have often sat outside mainstream American comedy directly to the stage.
FROM A MILLION FOLLOWERS TO STAGES AROUND THE WORLD
Nasser’s audience extends far beyond social media. He has toured his stand-up comedy across the country and performed in cities including New York City, Los Angeles, and Dubai.
Now, Nasser Al-Rayess brings that live show to Denver Comedy Underground. For anyone looking for comedy shows in Denver, stand-up comedy in Denver, or a chance to catch one of the comedians coming to Denver, this is a night built around a perspective you will not find on every comedy stage.
