About

Zubi Ahmed is a Bangladeshi-American Muslim writer, comedian, and filmmaker. Short on all things including height, temper, and patience, she’s literally Joe Pesci if you don’t think too hard about it. Zubi is one of the hosts of Kutti Gang, a live comedy show featuring South Asian comedians with an emphasis on highlighting women, non-binary, and queer brown performers. She is the writer and director of Polterheist, a comedy web-series about a guy and a gay ghost which has been featured in the South Asian Film Festival of America and NY Lift-Off Film Fest. She also had a brief stint as a talk show host talking to other brown talents and community organizers on Late Afternoon with Zubaira, available to watch on Youtube.
