Bio

Sherif Hedayat is a veteran stand up comedian from Dayton, Ohio. He started performing in 1996 while attaining a B.A. in Mass Communications from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. His humor covers a wide range of topics including family, education, religion, careers, dating, television, stereotypes, racism and growing up in the Middle East. Through his experiences living in America and the Middle East, he bridges the cultural gap in a way that everyone can understand. After almost four years away from stand up comedy, he returned in late 2006 with a new found energy and motivation. He has opened for Comedy Central’s Axis Of Evil Comedy Tour, the first all Middle Eastern comedy tour to air on national television. In July 2007, he was one of 72 comedians selected to compete in Comedy Central’s Open Mic Fight. Sherif currently tours clubs and colleges around the world.
