Shatha Yas is a fierce comedian and writer. NYC-based and raised in Palestine.

Shatha can be seen performing stand-up around NY and writing sketch comedy for The Armory Comedy. Shatha grew up in the West Bank and has worked in foreign affairs for several years, so she knows too many depressing things about the world. She likes to joke about politics and social issues.

Shatha has studied improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade (where she twice received the Diversity Scholarship), satire at The Second City, and acting at The Barrow Group. ​She produces Fickle Comedy and Double Threat Comedy!

She'd like to thank, first and foremost, the Wright brothers for making human flight possible.
