Zubi Ahmed

Zubi Ahmed is a Bangladeshi-American writer, comedian, and filmmaker from New York City. Short in height and temper, Zubi is most aptly described as a homicidal softy on stage and in real life. She effortlessly connects to audiences from all walks of life with her relatable and belligerent humor. As a filmmaker, Zubi was the recipient of the BBC Diversity Scholarship for her short film Rupali V. Society, and her web-series, Polterheist, was selected to screen at South Asian Film Festival of America and NY Lift-Off Film Fest. Zubi is also one of the co-creators and hosts of popular NYC comedy show, Kutti Gang which has been featured on New York Times and PBS AllArts. Zubi’s writing has most recently been recognized by The Blacklist’s Muslim List for her unique and tumultuous dark comedy pilot Brooklyn Bengalis. You can catch Zubi on an episode of Ramy in Season 3, on stage somewhere in the city, or loitering at a local coffee shop attempting to manufacture a meet cute.
