Thank you guys for watching 🫡🫡🫡
Everyone follow Malik on social media and go see him live!
I know comedians hate it when people tell them how to improve their jokes but...
For the white hijab joke; change it to a niqab... Not only does that make the joke more accurate, but you get to educate infidels as well.😅
Really funny stuff man!
I haven't guffawed like a donkey at a comedy set in a long time, but this was so freakin hilarious! The bits about your ma had me laughing pretty hard...and then Kanye...and then "My taping!". The comedic timing was brilliant! 😂
😂😂😂 good stuff man! You have a new fan!
😂😂😂 That confederate flag hijab joke was hilarious!
😂😂
One of the most original jokes I've ever heard. Just hilarious
@@katietoole8345around these here parts we are halal. We ain't doing any of that haram shit.
I was screaming at that and the pointy hijab😂😂😂😂very original!!!
@@adimaa8 I'm a bit lost there.. did he refers to ninja?? 😅
Every now and again you realise you're witnessing the beginning of a pure legend! This guy is going places! Flawless performance👌
Definitely so. Culture is for sharing and humor is the perfect way to make it interesting to get others to want to know more. edit: I am very much looking forward to more comedians with muslim background, just to make it easier to get used to see life from their perspective.
Well said....
I agree this guy is gonna be HUGE in the future…very funny great timing endless material.
🎉💯
The way he summarized the funny jokes from before and wrapped it up with a good laugh was really cool.
Dat was really dope. Set us up thinkin he was appreciatin da fans but switched it up
Not even one bad joke.. this guy is someone to watch!
the dude did not miss, what a set
WOW!!! 💯🎉💯 None of his jokes missed!!! I wish him an amazing career, and his family peace, joy and success!!! 👍🏽
Kissing woke ass is never funny. Really wish both right and left would piss off.
Not bad...but I never truly laughed.
I was gonna Like your comment but soon as i saw you have 666 Likes, i can't ruin it for the next guy..lol Hope nobody ruins it for the next ppl who read your comment..
I love his rhythm 😂 not too high-energy, he slows down and gets everybody invested then has a really crisp punchline. so funny
You are one beautiful man 👌🏼
"She cuts me fruit and brings it into my room" I felt that in my bones 😂
"Helen, come on.... we can't both be mentally ill" 😂 This was refreshing and brilliant!
Such a great joke
"We can't both be mentally ill" lol😂
That got me too 😂
Great joke on its own, doesn't really hit as well after telling us he believes in a made up sky daddy who judges him. Already mentally ill if you think that.
let the man be goddamn@@TomSmith-jp1es
@TomSmith-jp1es bro he's clearly not religious if you listen carefully. He's only talking about the times when he was, i.e when he was a child.
@@TomSmith-jp1estriggered
The type of comedy we desperately need these days. Not shying from dark humor and political topics, but ultimately humane and wholesome. Loved the set.
Right? There was some spicy stuff in there but it was never vicious or mean!
@fmkwvejf exactly - it was s genuine, not a fake correctness.... loved it, the ending note was brilliant
He does right what LOT of people are trying and failing very awkwardl;y to pull off - you nailed it.
Well-put!
yes well said. very elevated but not shying away from the spicy subjects. loved it
This guy made me laugh.
Comedians usually make me exhale a little harder than normal but rarely get laughs out of me so job well done.
May you continue to get an adequate amount of food.
I didnt expect mix of Mark Zuckerberg and Sacha Baron Cohen is gonna kill me in 13min
Well Jewish people have middle eastern dna it’s not surprising. Just Jews tend to intermarriage with Europeans more often. But still the Levantine still have the same ancestors and blood
This guy's delivery and timing is flawless. Even the times he got serious had just perfect timing. He really gets you into the story and makes the punchline hit so hard. Really funny stuff!
Absolutely, he is amazing!
Yeah, that’s the best part. It’s like he’s just making an announcement or wrapping it up and then BOOM
I think that stuff’s funny😂
Definitely has a style similar to Aziz Ansari which is cool cause I miss his standup, I think this dude has a lot of potential if he keeps working at it
hes almost like an artist!
His cadence and delivery make this man a natural! Let’s hear more from him, asap!
its rare these days to find a standup comedy that is not about sex, diff between genders & white, black, Hispanic or whatever. keep up the good work Malik
Yep sick of all those Bill Burr and Ricky Gervais BS.
That was top notch. Intelligent, original, delivered inoffensively (which is very difficult to do these days) and most importantly very funny. All great jokes. Well done, the world needs more comedians like you. Awesome job
These jokes are so well written! Im actually so impressed. They lead into eachother perfectly and the punchlines hit so hard! Rare that I'm laughing out loud at my phone lmao! Bravo!
get this man a larger stage. Mad props, really. I'm not Muslim, but I've worked and lived with Uzbeks for the past decade or so. I cannot imagine it sits well. Keep doing your thing. I don't think any divine and wise creator would object to reducing hatred by reaching across aisles with a smile. I'm proud of you.
Well said! Well said!
Ah-main.
yes.
Great comment!
Actually, this background is great!
Bro that “NO” with the accent sold me the entire clip. Had to pause it a couple times. I hope to catch one of your shows sometimes.
This guy is my new favourite. Absolutely brilliant, refreshing, humane, and funny as hell!!! What a gem!!!
With the world feeling like it's burning, I desperately needed a new comedian with this exact energy. Solid set, left me wanting an hour special 🔥🔥🔥
Ismo still kick this dudes any day
Same! So good
The world isn't burning 😂. Try growing up in the 80s at the height of the Cold War where tons of nukes were pointed at you.
@@MercediSurfaceIt's not burning 😂. How ridiculous.
Where’s the special
I love it when the jokes all come back together to make this one big joke,thats a master level comedian thing I really loved it 🙂😁🙏
Call backs aren’t that uncommon as far as it goes for comedians
not uncommon but you have to appreciate it when it's this well executed @@SoulKingBK
And all along we're not even thinking he's gonna stitch them all together at the end.
You're very good Malik. Smart, well played / timed metaphors on the ills of today's social global issues .Relax and just tell it how it is. I think you'll get even better with time. You can be the voice of your people and bring awareness to their plight. Asalamu Alayum✌️😉🇺🇲💙
You’re awesome Malik, “ deceptively pointy “ LMMFAO 😂😂😂
Very rarely do you get to see a comedian of this caliber. That middle finger to salute was 👌. Props to Malik for loving the art of comedy and sharing it.
"3... 3 rubles! Ahh, ahh, ahhhh..."
Exactly,this was some pure comedy, really well written and really well told 😁😊
The best comedians aren't just skilled but sincere and relatable... this guy is all three. Kudos
Also very creative way to call-back his entire set at the end!! 😂😂
You relate to hating Jews? Careful there lol
Right!!
Sincerity is not funny so how does that make sense?
@@aaronanytime8897because you get invested in their story
@aaronanytime8897 Maybe you're missing out on about 75% of what's funny. Lightening up might strengthen your funny bone.
Dude, what a genius- you touch things that are so untouchable, I have deep admiration for your courage.
The Closing joke about the phone background at the airport is killer😂😂😂😂
I don't remember laughing this hard with any other stand-up show I've watched. It's absolutely clear Malik is immensely talented, coming from his point of view/background in order to shine a light onto larger topics. Humor is supposed not only to be funny, but critical as well (as in "makes you think") and he does both superbly. Hope to hear more from him in the future.
This is the funniest you've seen? I feel sorry for you
@@TreyWK condescending someone on the internet who's just sharing their opinion? damn, i feel sorry for you.
@wyawarD9677 Wow! isn't that exactly what you're doing as well????????
@@TreyWK yep! i'm a huge fuckin' hypocrite! but also, what goes around, comes around.
@@wyawarD9677 You said it
Woke flat earther: "The disc is heating up" How is this so brilliant 🤣
I mean, he took 8 years to come up with a joke that other people have already been spamming since 2016...
@@youtubedj9298 Spamming since 2016! What a coincidence that MAGA and QAnon emerged in the same year to share a lot of jokes.
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 there is is no correlation with Trump and flat Earth lol, that's a conspiracy right there if I ever heard one before 😂😂💀
@@eonreeves4324 Who said that there is a correlation between them? Either are science deniers but I don't see the conspiracy theory you see.
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 Okay, maybe I don't understand your comment. Why did you bring MAGA and Qanon into flat earth?
Seriously the strongest material I've heard in a long time, in the same category as Nick Bargatze, hit me with the same rolling laughter! I love it when I see someone this good for the first time! Stand up could be his side hustle, he needs to be writing for one of the 3 late night shows, preferably Colbert or Kimmel.
Also a huge NATE BARGATZE fan here!!!
Amazing combination of storytelling and flawless timing!WOW.🎉
Watched this guy a few times in Vancouver and I’m so happy to see him getting some recognition. He’s hilarious.
He's from Vancouver?
@@vanman724 The description says he's from Calgary.
I saw him perform at some shows in Vancouver. I do think he’s from Calgary.
That was freaking hilarious. The Confederate Flag Hijab joke damn near broke me. Great job 👍
The same for me.. I woke up my son because I was laughing so hard😂
I thought it was gonna be a Maga Hijab. But that works too
@@carlosfer2201 That one would work for sure!
The prototype also had me buckled over in laughter!
I wish I hadn't scrolled down and ruined the joke in advance!
The Confederate flag Hijab as a Hate-Crime-proof Hijab is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. The all white Hijab that’s slightly pointy is a close second. F*cking brilliant!!
This was crazy good. You delivered like someone who did it for decades. Looking forward for more.
Never heard of this guy before but after watching his set...I promise I'll be on a 7-day binge watching everything of his on the internet 😅
Ikr 😂
Same!
What a refreshingly hilarious way to poke fun at both antisemitic and anti-Islamic tropes all in one set. Laughter unites us and is needed. I look forward to hearing more of your stand-up.
I am half jewish, half gentile (not a popular demographic)
Well said.
He is good. I hope he goes the distance with the comedy career
I don’t see anything anti islamic there
@@anonymousmuffin9762 Neither Anti-semitic
These guys make it look so easy, but a lot of work goes into a set like this.
It all came out so smooth, that was dope.
This is the best routine I've seen for a long time and I hope we see a lot more of him. Great tie up at the end and so many great lines throughout. Plus the timing and the basic likeability of the guy.
He's talented. It takes skill to be able to work the whole routine back into one main punchline. Great job!
Bro, that was a perfect set! Your delivery is flawless and your jokes are original and brilliantly written. Can't wait to see more from you 👊
I really love his way of giving serious subjects the respect they deserve, and then bancing it out with really absurd, over-the-top jokes.
This is how you do edgy humor in the 2020s. Based in empathy and understanding.
That's the funniest bit I've seen in a long time. And they say you can't say that stuff. Funny, honest, and a real "sense of humour". Thx.
Malik, I saw one of your shows at tubby dog in Calgary almost half a decade. I recall being there with your cousin and laughing my ass off at your performance. I’m incredibly impressed by the fact that you kept pursuing your dreams and the recognition you’ve gained on larger platforms. I hope you continue to blow up and gain more recognition - you deserve it man.
Were you one of his teachers?
@@mateohodge6998😂😂😂😂😂
@@mateohodge6998 LOL the "one that didn't fit the narrative?"
Refreshingly honest, stating facts we all can laugh at and understand-This was the edgiest, most clever writing delivered on the ever worrisome Israeli-Arab conflict. Would love to see him share his humour with a national audience. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂😂😂
Seriously, are you a bot/ai? Cuz that's not how humans talk bruh SMH
@@nawdude4292 bruh!?
It is not some Israeli Arab conflict. None of the Palestinians can seek refuge in Saudi or UAE or Qatar. The rich Arab states don't care about us.
In fact Muslim brothers didn't care about the 1.7 million Afghans being displaced by Pakistan, and the massacre in Sudan either
@@nawdude4292- If people care to articulate what they’re actually thinking, they often talk in a myriad of ways, this being one of them.
🙄
@@MrHxChrisI'm still searching for the part that seems ai generated 😂😂😂no luck 🤷🏾♂️
Hahaha great material. That last bit with the phone was TOO GOOD😂😂😂
Man, that ending that turns the whole set into a setup for one last punchline is so well done! This guy is great, I hope we see more of him
I didn't want Malik's set to end. Brilliantly hilarious!
He’s one of the few comedians who’s gotten me to laugh out loud in months.
same! one of the other ones for me was a set about filling the dishwasher…it’s nice to have some variety lol
Brilliant!!! My grandparents are also Lebanese, grew up listening to this kind of stories, got emotional here and laughed a lot at the same time!!!... You're great, good luck cousin!!! ❤
After watching this I came away a little wiser, a little more educated and had a great laugh the whole time. What a fantastic comedian!
That final punchline was brilliant "I think that stuff is funny", as that gives the public (myself included) a good mirror to see themselves into. That's what an excellent comedian is about: not only making people laugh, but also making people see dumb behavior reflected.
Dude ! You’re just killing it ! Timing, punchlines, wit behind jokes (“only Him can judge me” gold) So refreshing to see new comedians with such maturity! The floor is yours brother 🫶
Dude I watch all the comedy. This was flawless. Very funny. Not hacky. Confidantly executed. Really liked it. Looking forward to watching you work.
I seldomly laugh out loud at stand up comedy, but this is different. Ich audibly laughed like 4 or 5 times!! Great guy, great material
Malik everything was la flame 🔥 but that middle finger to salute transition was transcendent 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
made me burst out laughing
As a club owner in the 1970's, I booked a lot of comedians. Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Franklin Ajaye, etc., all unknown at the time. Malik has got the goods. His timing, writing, all of it is excellent. If I were a casting director, he would be in my next comedy movie.
Wow. Solid praise indeed. He felt so unpredictable and yet so succinct. He wasn't holding our hand, walking us up to the punch line. He just talks and POP!
Oh yeah 80+ year olds are known to surf youtube videos, totally believe you're fairy tale.

Funny bits, all tied together one after the other, with an all time great closer. This is an awesome set.
I've never heard of this guy but this was a really solid set.👍
I definitely sense a Netflix special in this guy's future.
Amen brother. Salaam alaikum.

I'm glad that his family is in good health and that he is here to grace our faces with smiles - I only wish his mom would have told him how beautiful Lebanon was before Hizballah took over it and attacked Israel as an Iranian proxy.
@@tuxuhds6955that's how antisemitic Islamist propaganda works. As an ex-muslim I feel angry that I ever fell for it. It's disgusting.
What did this guy do that you would wish the evil of Netflix cancellation on him?
The way he tied the whole entire set together at the end was absolutely masterful
Lmao - "Now I make a year, what you make a year. Good Job" too funny
Awesome! I have been stressin life lately and forgot about stand up. I'm glad I reintroduced it with Malik! Gold my dude.
This dude is going places, he is EXCELLENT
This was the funniest set ive seen in a while. I cant believe ive never heard of this guy. We need to get him canceled immediately so he gets the recognition he deserves.
Can we all agree to call this the Gillis Effect
best place to suppoort him will be on his tiktok
😂
@@psikoexeComedian Shane Gillis. Got cancelled before he could even work one day on SNL after getting hired. Basically cancelled at the beginning of his career taking off. He’s come back 100x stronger and better as a result.
@@LombardoJoefurther proof cancelling is bs lmao
This was so good! Comedy is the best storytelling that I've yet to encounter. Amazing!

Ça fait plaisir de tomber sur un compatriote sympathique (': ! Have fun in the US! Take care ~
Really won em round by the middle! 😅 I love when jokes take almost until the next joke to sink in! Class set 👏
He had the crowd in the palm of his hand the entire time, he just won you over when his jokes began to align with your political agenda. That or you’re just painfully slow at processing comedy🤣
@@IXvictortwo dunno wtf you're talking about? Reaction definitely improved after a few jokes, 100 odd people agree with my comment so maybe you're the slow one here 🤷♂️
@@IXvictortwo He did, but the jokes do refer back to previous jokes so the effect definitely builds; not all stand-up comics can structure their sets that well.
Can someone explain the part where he says "my taping!" 10:52
@@HayanomieI didn't get it either.
This guys performance and exequition is genius level!
Oh my f*cking god.
You picked some of the hardest and sleepery topics to talk about and you freaking nailed it without using a single cliché.
Or at least not without subverting it.
Good job man.
The world needs that.
Oh man, that was the best set I’ve heard in a looong time. You are my discovery. The way you combine the real shit with comedy is what makes it gold. Also, the timing and the delivery. But mostly the balance between realness and laughter.
Wow, man! Best compliment I can give you - I hadn’t heard of you before and clicked your video while standing in line at the post office. I was laughing so much I got out of line and sat outside to finish the whole set. 😂 Smart, hilarious, fantastic delivery. Awesome stuff, congratulations!
UA-cam recommended me this one, forgot I had seen it, laughed all over again.
You are hilarious! This vid really does feel like watching a future legend perfecting his craft. Every single punchline lands perfectly, the crowd is in the palm of your hand, and that last joke calling back to the earlier stuff had me in stitches. 😂
Subbed, and sent this to a few friends as well. Peace and love from England!
That therapist skit was spot on of my experiences. Thought the flat earther joke would be funniest (and it was good) but the hijab and therapist and all other joke had me rolling on floor.
Well some people just like their cucumbers pickled. 🤷🏽♂️
Meh.. I felll asleep
I'm not a comedic expert, but this guy is genuinely funny. Soon, he's going to be a household name. Good luck!
The funny thing is that you don't have to be a comedic expert to have a sense of humor. The comedian is the comedic expert who does the heavy lifting for you. All you have to do is laugh....and buy a ticket 🎟️ of course.
comedic expert WTF ? Is that a degree ? 🤣
@@optivitanutrition I feel him, the op philip , so many talking about nuances of timing (measured in 100ths of a second) and punchline and setup, and we commoners (me and him, or he and I, okok) ask wth, why so serious about a joke? So for example Jimmy Carr is an expert and even successful, but I can't swallow him, his looks (ok, he himself can't either), the stance, the voice and the edgyness. No timing theory helping there. I click on some videos with him starring (and spend 50 words right here) because of the intriguing titles.
The joke with the salute 3:55 -ish is platinum for me, now that's playing with some "taboos" (the finger, army etc) as a "youngster" (he is not that young) and pulling it off effectively.
Dude, this was absolutely amazing! I was laughing out loud at every joke the whole way through. Class act.
I'm here again! Worth rewatching every once in a while.
Can't remember the last time I laughed myself to tears. This man should be filling up arenas. I hope I can see him in person someday.
This set had every possibility of going off the rails. But it never once did. This is masterful comedy! Not many can make jokes about these subjects without starting a huge fight! 😂
Just discovered you, looking forward to watching many more of your shows. Great job, my friend.
Holy shit. This is so good. I'm very picky about comedians, but here I am. I'm sitting in my backyard laughing out loud. I never sit out here so my neighbours gonna be really confused.
This is one of the best piece of comedy ever!! A perfect mix of self awareness and social commentary. Golden
"Confederate flag hijab" had me laughing so hard my sides hurt and I spit iced coffee out my nose.
Wow. Just friggin hilarious and super clever. Tying everything back together in the final bit was really well done.
Bro was hilarious from start to finish. I’m definitely gonna be on the lookout for more of your stuff, my man!
He's hilarious and as a Muslim I am a little taken back but when I lighten up and hear his comedy is absolutely fabulous funny. Bravo because some way shape form or fashion we need to open up the society to know that Muslims are beautiful real people who are funny intelligent complexed diverse and full of love for Humanity because it's what our Lord asked us to do. So brother keep on being hilarious! May Allah continue to show you the right way VIA Islam but in your fun. AAMEEN
Bro wrote a whole thesis statement 😂
...so weak...
...go find a mirror and laugh at yourself...
@@Heronymus.OmDracoLol wow
@@Heronymus.OmDraco the long and short of it is is that the beautiful spiritual complexities that has formulated into religion of Islam is filled with science. Along with some of the other diasporas of spirituality that have formulated into religion.

This man is going places, he has that comedic timing and great jokes. Should start a podcast if he hasn’t already
Such a refreshing set with smooth rhythm. Really love it Malik!
Literal tears at the end, that last joke that tied it all together was hilarious 😂
One of the funniest comedians I've seen lately. Jokes on offensive edges but yet not offensive, rather smart, funny and educational!
Good job, keep it up !
yep , i agree
Yes, these subjects need to be broached in a gentle, compassionate and mature way, and show the similarities our cultures have and that we all love humour. The divine wants us all to be happy.
Wow this guy is legit! We need more of him right now! Albums, Netflix specials, the works!
Porn!
You only get a Netflix special if you obey The Narrative.
i.e. Are a non-comedian.
the Meek Mill song, for those to tired to google, it`s called R.I.C.O and it`s featuring Drake so it`s the deal
Wow you are phenomenal!! Smooth and genuine talent. I’ll keep watching out for you! 🎉
This Lebanese is proud. Absolutely hilarious. I also have many "close call" stories from my family growing up and you managed to mine genuine humor out of our history. So good and looking forward to more!!
As a Jew I absolutely loved this skit! Good to see my brothers coming up! 🏆👏🏾

Thank you brother ❤
I rarely laugh out loud to my phone, too embarrassing, but I couldn't help it! The last one was perfect!
