Maryam Ameer

Maryam is an Iraqi foodie who brought stand-up comedy to her homeland—because apparently, surviving dictatorships wasn’t thrilling enough. She’s globe-trotted from the USA to Oman, collecting bizarre stories, eccentric friends, and a borderline illegal obsession with good food. At some point, she found herself in the Netherlands, a land where people bike in storms like it’s an Olympic sport and consider mayo a personality trait. Now, she navigates Dutch directness with sarcasm and food, firmly believing that every problem can be solved with a joke, a snack, or ideally, both.
