Libyan-born, Portland-based comedian Mohanad Elshieky appeared on Conan on TBS for a stand-up set last night, and predictably, it's genius. Having lived in the United States for five years, Elshieky's five-minute set featured his "I need to speak to America's manager" bit, which smartly points out that the product is nothing like the image. One of the Mercury's Undisputed Geniuses of Comedy, Mohanad's excellent, laid-back delivery is his secret weapon; he can make audiences laugh about cultural and political topics like racism, police shootings, terrorist organizations, and his very controversial hatred of boy bands.

I once saw Elshieky perform parts of this set at a local Minority Retort show, and can attest that the longer version is even better. Here's hoping that Elshieky gets offered a Netflix special in the near future. He deserves it and we need it.
