Samira Alaouie is a First-Generation Lebanese American Comedian, Actor, and Writer with a background in Chicago Improv, Marketing, and Feng Shui (put a bubbling fountain in the north of your living room this year for abundance!). She has been selected as an Emerging Voice by NBC after studying and performing comedy in Chicago at Second City, iO, ComedySportz, and Annoyance. She has written, directed, produced, edited, cast, and been a positivity cheerleader for over a dozen comedy shorts, as well as writing and performing sketches on stage, and taking on various production and acting roles for others' shorts and sketches. She attributes her success to watching many many many hours of television...which is what she tells her family who question her tv watching habits and her choices in life.

Samira recently started posting YouTube #shorts which received over 650,000 views in her first month of messing around to see what happens and I’m ready...omg whoops…I mean she’s ready…it’s too late…now you know…I write my own bios! I love comedy. I started watching Seinfeld and The Golden Girls when I was 8, and I remember how much joy those shows would always bring me and still do. My ultimate goal is to give people the same joy I received throughout my life :) My goal on my vision board this year is to have my own Comedy Sketch Show on Comedy Central. My other goal is receiving lots and lots of cash. Anyways, as I was writing before...I’m ready to see what happens next!
