Reem Edan is a comic who’s always stuck in the middle: she’s both Iraqi and American, Muslim-Sunni and Shiite, and literally the middle child. Sprinkle in an overweight childhood and you've got a recipe for a stand-up comedian.

Reem has opened for Arsenio Hall and Hannah Berner; written for the NBC Late Night Writing Program; and can be seen in sketches with Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 3), Markian B. (Smile Squad), Betches (IG) and her parents on her popular TikTok. She frequently performs internationally (in English and Arabic) across the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and Japan.

Soon to make her TV debut on Shahid VIP (the largest streaming service in the Middle East), Reem’s unique brand of Muslim-ennial humor shines a light on growing up culturally confused, never fitting in, and continually disappointing her parents… who hope her time performing at colleges will somehow lead to a law degree.

Reem is an outstanding comedian and a fan favorite. She has returned to Portland State University 3 times and came with a completely new set each year. Her ability to read the audience and hilarious material made for an amazing show, and I'm sure we will see her at PSU again soon.

Reem was great! This was our first virtual performance of the semester, and the crew was a well-oiled machine. We should definitely recommend her for your next comedy show!
