Zainab Johnson & Khadijah Cooper at Laugh Camp Comedy Club

Overview

Zainab Johnson

Zainab Johnson is a stand-up comedian, actress and writer, who was recently selected to be one of Variety’s Top 10 Comics To Watch 2019. Zainab’s comedy is based on her unique point-of-view, which was shaped growing up in Harlem as one of thirteen siblings in a Muslim family. After getting a degree in math and taking a job as a teacher, she quickly learned that she had a different calling.

Zainab can most recently be seen in her appearance on Epix’s Unprotected Sets and has made appearances on Late Night with Seth Meyers, BET's Comic View, MTV's Acting Out, and The Melbourne Comedy Festival. Zainab can next be seen as the series-regular role of Aleesha on the Greg Daniels Amazon series UPLOAD.

Khadijah Cooper

Khadijah grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis as an only child. Working as a Sexuality Educator with teens, her confidence in public speaking coupled with her quick wit gave her all the fuel she needed to burst on to the comedy scene making her name known. In March 2019 Khadijah was in the top 5 for the Best comedian for the City Pages Best of the Twin Cities. Her point of view in her stand up as a mother, a Sexuality Educator, and someone that has the confidence and comfort in her skin makes her irresistible to laugh with and relate to.
