Dean Obeidallah is a uniquely Palestinian, Italian, American Comic. Born in New Jersey and educated in Law, Dean somehow ends up as a world renown comedian and the co-founder of the Arab American Comedy festival along with Maysoon Zayid.

Dean’s style of comedy is typically very personal where he uses events from his life growing up in a multicultural house-hold in America to connect with his audience and deliver a very personal message from a very nice guy. Dean draws from the personality clashes of an Arab-Muslim father, with a Sicilian Mother growing up in a primarily Italian-American community in New Jersey. He also delivers a wealth of political comedy and satire that is understandable considering the unique role that Arab American comics play as Ambassadors for the Middle East in the United States, as well as Ambassadors for the general American public to the Middle East.
