Egyptian-Australian comedian and one of the country's most experienced stand-ups.
Akmal Saleh has been one of the most consistently funny stand-ups in Australia for more than three decades. Egyptian-born, raised in Sydney, he made his name on the festival circuit before becoming a fixture on Australian television, radio and the corporate comedy stage.
His material is observational, self-deprecating and built around the experience of being culturally between worlds — and that's part of why he travels so well across very different corporate rooms. He's a clean, professional act when the brief calls for it, and a top-end festival comedian when it doesn't.
Akmal is a strong choice for corporate dinners, awards nights and any event that wants a comedian with a long career behind him and a delivery that reads the room properly.
Akmal Saleh is an MC and entertainer based in New South Wales. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
