Zahra Noorbakhsh is a feminist Muslim, Iranian-American comedian and co-host of the award-winning podcast, #GoodMuslimBadMuslim.
The podcast was listed as a “must listen” by Oprah Magazine, and Zahra was invited to the Obama White House to record an episode.
She is a Senior Fellow on comedy for social change with the Pop Culture Collaborative.
In addition to her two sold-out performances of her stand-up comedy special “On Behalf of All Muslims” at the Golden Thread Theatre in San Francisco, her solo performance of “All Atheists are Muslim: A Romantic Comedy” was originally directed by CNN’s W. Kamau Bell.
Reza Aslan says, "always insightful, always subversive... Zahra's comedic romps disrupt an outdated narrative."
Her writing is featured in the New York Times and on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
