Sameena Zehra has been performing comedy since 2011. She is also blues singer/songwriter, writer/director & accomplished actor who has worked at the National Theatre, and toured internationally with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Sameena is a consummate writer and performer and has a great connection with her audience. Her humour is dark and her mind is absurd. She is a storyteller, political satirist, feminist and humanist with a unique take on the world, equally at home exploring the individual experiences of daily life and the larger issues of the world we live in. She has performed her solo shows all over the world, including Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Brighton Fringe, Adelaide Fringe and New Zealand Fringe.

Sameena runs a compilation variety night called The Cult of Comedy presents� as well as running a Stagecraft for Comedians workshop.
