Mohanad Elshieky: Green Books

Mohanad Elshieky is a New York-based, Libyan-born comedian who made his national TV debut on Conan and has been featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Don’t Tell Comedy, and Comedy Central. He has toured with Pop Up Magazine and is a regular at the Comedy Cellar in NYC.

He is a writer/consultant for the podcast WAIT WAIT DON’T TELL ME and previously wrote for LOVETT OR LEAVE IT. He was one of the hosts of Lemonada’s podcast I’M SORRY, where each week they unravel the latest and greatest in Twitter gaffes, petty beef and not-so-subtle shade. He has been featured in Kumail Nanjiani’s LITTLE AMERICA book. In 2018 he appeared in an episode of Epix's "Unprotected Sets" and was listed as one of Thrillist’s 50 Best Undiscovered Comics. In 2024 he was selected to be one of the SF Sketchfest Dozen.

Elshieky combines a deceptively laid-back demeanor with a whip-smart perspective on politics and culture. The Portland Mercury called him "an undisputed genius of comedy," and he's been featured on podcasts such as Pod Save The People and Harmontown. Elshieky zeroes in on topics that seem off limits - then surprises you with how hard you’re laughing.
