Sammy Obeid is a true force of nature—a force for good. He once performed every night for 1,001 nights, culminating in an appearance on Conan. For those struggling with the math, that’s almost three years without a break, including multiple Christmas Eve performances. The friendly comic who loves puns and math and math puns is an unlikely and perfect comedic voice for the pro-Palestinian views that have thrust him into headlines and increased his profile. Still, he cheerfully and bravely engages directly with audience members on a topic many public figures are reluctant to touch.
