Azhar Usman is a stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and producer from Chicago whose work sits at the intersection of comedy, identity, and cultural commentary. He blends observational and character comedy with sharp reflections on Muslim experience, Indian heritage, and American life. As co founder of Allah Made Me Funny—the global comedy tour—you can point to his signature live film Allah Made Me Funny Live in Concert and his acclaimed underground comedy album Square The Circle as examples of his unique voice.
On stage Azhar delivers performances with commanding stage presence and blistering energy. He plays comedy clubs, theaters, university auditoriums, and international festivals, often selling out venues and leaving audiences laughing and thinking in equal measure. His live reputation is built on emotional honesty, powerful storytelling, and the rare ability to make both laughter and insight feel essential.
Currently Azhar continues to expand his impact through television and film writing projects such as Ramy and Mo, recurring roles in major series, and ongoing global tour dates. His cultural influence is growing, especially among Muslim, South Asian, and socially conscious audiences who see him as a cultural phenomenon. With new specials, shows, and performances on the horizon, Azhar Usman remains a boundary pushing voice in comedy and performance.
