Ali Sultan saw his first stand-up comedian when he moved to America from Yemen at age 15. He grew the desire to go on stage but first, he needed to learn English. Ali became the first comedian post-pandemic to be on The Late with Stephen Colbert and the first Yemeni to make a stand-up television debut.
Ali has been on Comedy Central's Hart of The City with Kevin Hart. He filmed his Half Hour comedy special in Dubai for Comedy Central Arabia. He was named both Best Local Comic and artist of the year by City Pages. He represented Minnesota and won the Best in The Midwest competition at Gildas LaughFest. His album Happy To Be Here debuted at #2 on iTunes and can be heard on iTunes, Spotify, SiriusXM, and has over 700k streams on Pandora. Ali also performs clean comedy for Colleges, nonprofits, and cooperates. His latest 2021 special can be seen on Unprotected Sets executive produced by Wanda Sykes on Epix.
