Kilo Laughs presents: Comedy Masala ft. Ahmed Ahmed (US)
If you’re looking for a good guffaw, the latest installment of the acclaimed Comedy Masala series sees Ahmed Ahmed, the Egyptian-American actor, producer, director – and to add on to his many talents, a darn good comedian. The co-founder of the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour and regular on the TBS hit comedy series Sullivan & Son currently performs at the world famous Comedy Story in Hollywood, The Laugh Factory and the Comedy Cellar in New York City, and now, it looks like Singapore’s been added to the list.
Comedy Masala ft. Ahmed Ahmed (US) is happening on Wednesday, 8 November 2017 at Kilo Lounge, 8.30pm – 10.30pm. Tickets are priced at $20 (early bird) and $25 (standard), available here.
