After fulfilling her duties as the daughter of Syrian immigrants to New York City by becoming an engineer, Laura Laham has put aside her manufacturing real world skills to create something even more important - jokes about her duties as the daughter of Syrian immigrants to New York City.
Laura is based between Los Angeles and New York City where she has performed in major clubs as well as a number of different pubs, theaters, and secret locations - you have to message the producer to find out it’s a corner bodega. Comedy is fun like that.
She’s toured across the U.S.A and the Middle East. She’s performed at Caroline’s on Broadway in New York City opening for the internationally headlining Bassem Youssef. She’s often found at the New York Arab American Comedy Festival.
Most recently, Laura has made trips to the Middle East where she’s performed on stages and in cafes in both Amman, Jordan and Dubai, UAE. She personally believes the Burj Khalifa is just trying to ‘prove something’.
In the time she isn’t writing or re-writing or convincing herself she is not an imposter, she obsesses over her D&D character, an Air Genasi Shadow Monk with a serious vendetta against the moon. This is not a joke, she loves D&D. Dungeons and Dragons. She won’t shut up about it. She even started making her own dice that she swears are not weighted (and if they are it’s because of the resin bubbles and not general malice).
