I performs regularly at top comedy clubs.My material has been quoted in newspapers (okay, it was the NY Post and NY Daily News- but it still counts).I was featured on ABC's '20/20' on a segment about Arab American Comedians and had a recurring role as an 'on-air' interior designer on the Oxygen Network's home improvement show 'Nice package'.
