The Speakeasy is thrilled to welcome back touring comedian Samir Abdul on April 19 for one night of hilarious stand up comedy!
Samir Abdul, originally from Darfur, Sudan, is an international comedian shaking up Chicago’s comedy scene. A survivor of the Darfur genocide, Samir blends personal stories of resilience with sharp, witty observations on American life. Using humor to bridge cultural divides, he challenges perceptions, sparks conversations, and finds laughter where cultures collide. Samir has performed at top venues like Laugh Factory, Zanies, Don’t Tell Comedy, and The Den Theatre, alongside talents such as AGT’s Learnmore Jonasi and WGN’s Pat Tomasulo. His hit show Up’N Coming at The Second City has drawn over 1,000 audience members, cementing its place as one of Chicago’s most exciting showcases for rising comedic talent.
Joining Samir on stage is Quad City favorite James Draper, Lou Palomino from Peoria and Haley Call! Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 the day of the show. The doors open at 7 and the show begins at 8 PM.
Tickets can be reserved online at the link in this event or by calling 309-786-7733, ext. 2. Must be 18 or older to attend. No exceptions!
