Lebanon-born, now Sydney-based Fady Kassab was the 2019 winner of Australia’s most prestigious comedy competition, triple j’s RAW Comedy. His show-stopping performance, televised on SBS TV, saw him flown to that year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe where he was selected to feature in the Best of Edinburgh Showcase Show.
With a background in radio, Fady started his media career hosting SBS Radio Arabic Program as a producer and on-air talent.
Fady’s debut full solo hour, Borderline, gathered 5 star reviews and sold out shows at Adelaide and Sydney Comedy Festivals. He’s been seen on the Sydney Opera House’s Digital Season, Humour Us, and as a writer and guest on Season One of Jan Fran and Wil Anderson’s quiz-panel show Question Everything.
In 2022 Fady made his Just For Laughs: Australia debut, tearing the roof off Melbourne’s iconic Malthouse Theatre with a killer set for the world-renowned comedy festival. The show was first broadcast on Australian commercial television Network 10 in September 2022, further introducing Fady’s joyous style of stand-up to Australian audiences.
