Sammy Edan

Sammy Edan

A Somali-American stand-up comedian and digital creator known for sharp observations, relatable storytelling, and high-energy performances. Many fans know him from his viral comedy, but he's built a strong presence on stage — the Laugh Factory in LA, festivals, opening for established comedians, and headlining sold-out shows. His comedy blends culture, family, and everyday life with quick wit and a distinct point of view.

The essentials — more added as we lock details

Absolutely! That's the whole point. Many attendees form groups to explore the city together. We'll also provide a list of things to do in Los Angeles and restaurants to check out while you're here.

We wish we had the budget for that! But everyone is responsible for their own travel and stay.
