Welcome back to another episode of Esquire Q&A. Today we have a very special guest.
Ammar Daba, a Syrian stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. Started his writing and acting career in 2002 in Damascus, he wrote for theatre, TV and radio. In 2005, he moved to Dubai and later co-created the Syrian animated show "Mawqef Micro" in 2009 which ran for 2 seasons. Ammar started his standup career in 2012, he was inspired by great comedians like, George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld and Louis CK to develop a raw, raunchy brutally honest style of comedy that takes aim at himself before discussing anything else. His comedy is a mix of observational comedy and story telling that always delivers a hidden idea between the lines. In 2017 he was chosen to perform in Comedy Central Arabia's "Comedy Central Presents: كوميدي عالواقف" season 3, to be picked again later in 2018 to perform his first half-hour special for Comedy Central Arabia's "Comedy Central Presents: منا و فينا".
