Yesh Malik's Bio

Yesh Malik is a gay and Iraqi standup comedian, actor and writer. He is currently a comic in development at the Hollywood Improv on Melrose. He's written for Netflix, BuzzFeed and the CBS Diversity Showcase; and is best known for his web series Making Partner and The Life and Times of Samantha Jane.



Yesh was born in London and grew up in central California. Between his Assyrian Iraqi traditions and his gay American life, identity is what drives Yesh’s comedy. Robin Williams, Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy—his childhood favorites—define his work: character, physical and one witty mother f*cker.
