“Smart... Sophisticated... Powerful... and Hilarious.”
Rolling Stone Middle East

NEMR is a Lebanese/American stand-up comedian credited with establishing and pioneering the stand-up comedy scene throughout the Middle East where he performs in English. Nemr grew up in San Diego and then moved back with his family to Lebanon. He went on to break down barriers and unite people in a region where bombing on stage can have a completely different meaning.

In May of 2014, he was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine (Middle East) solidifying Nemr’s legacy as the biggest name in stand up in the region. Nemr also has numerous television credits from major networks in the Middle East, has been seen on CNN, was a guest on BBC HARDTalk, and appeared on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.

As an accomplished stand-up comic with nine full feature shows, it’s no wonder Nemr’s world tours have enjoyed unprecedented success, selling out across the globe from every major city in the U.S. to Europe and the Middle East. His first global event was captured in his hit comedy special No Bombing in Beirut, which was filmed in both Lebanon and Los Angeles, and premiered on Showtime, and is now available worldwide. Since then he toured Love Isn’t the Answer and The Future is NOW!, which came to an end at the peak of its run due to COVID-19 shutting the world down. Shortly afterwards his last special Dropping Hot broke every record previously set for a world tour, and now Nemr is touring his funniest show yet: Extremely Unextremist! Learn more at
