Samir started life in Sudan, lived in Egypt, and now the USA is lucky enough to call him our own. His take on the world around us reflects the immigrants’ unique view of American culture, values, and stereotypes. He shows us things we take for granted or can’t see objectively, and puts a fresh comic spin on them.
How long do you keep working on a joke before you give up on it? Who are you on stage versus who you are inside? Clean comedy versus dirty comedy. We hit all the big questions.
Mark and I had a great time talking to Samir about all things comedy and learning how he approaches the craft, as well as the lessons he's learned so far in his 5-year comic quest.
Follow Samir on Instagram and check him out live next chance you have. His show at Chicago’s famous Second City is not to be missed: Up’N Coming, “Don’t miss Chicago’s rising comedy stars before they hit TV, plus surprise guests from Netflix and Comedy Central! Get your tickets now for an unforgettable night of laughter!”

One Mark is a hazard. Two Marks is a party. A fun party, not one of those weird ones where you don’t know anyone and stand in the corner.
Stop listening to “people who know what they’re talking about” and start listening to two guys who think they do. Mark Allen and Marko the Comic are bringing you the unfiltered, unhinged, and (occasionally) “World Famous” comedy podcast you secretly craved. Extremely secretly.
From the studio to the stage, we’re dissecting the comedy craft and dodging the hecklers.

See the Chaos Live: Catch us running the free Tuesday open mic in Forest Park, IL. Come for the jokes, stay because your car won’t start. Or won’t stop and you crashed into us. Ouch.
