Weyam Al-Ghadban

@iamyouamweyam (they/them) | Queer, Nonbinary, Gender Queer

Weyam Al-Ghadban ๐ŸŒŸ identifies less as a comic, and more as a guy ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽค, standing in front of a crowd, asking them to love them โค๏ธ. They grew up Syrian ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ and Muslim โ˜ช๏ธ in the South ๐Ÿ‘, which was not not hard. For work, they facilitate conflict workshops ๐Ÿค for social justice groups, motivated by the pure Gemini โ™Š desire to have their hand in all the gossip ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ. Weโ€™re excited to have Weyam make their Safe Words Comedy Showcase debut!
