Sammy Obeid graduated from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley with a simultaneous degree in Applied Mathematics, then turned down a job at Google to be a full time comedian.  If that’s not crazy enough of a story, he’s also best known for setting a world record for performing stand up comedy 1,001 consecutive nights, and was featured in The New York Times and Time Magazine.  In the last few years, Sammy has performed at over 200 colleges across the US, and was voted Fastest Rising Star by Campus Magazine.  He also tours internationally, including trips to the UAE, QATAR, and Russia.  In 2016, Sammy was invited to headline Moscow’s first ever comedy festival, making him the first American comedian to ever headline a show in Russia. He’s also made TV appearances on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, America’s Got Talent, TBS’s Conan, and was the first comedian to ever tell jokes on the Food Network.

Sammy learned a lot about comedy writing along the way and he will be joining us to share his best knowledge about how to capture and retain your audiences attention.
