Emil Wakim Comes Home!
Emil Wakim Comes Home!
Emil Wakim is moving to NYC. In his relatively short time in comedy, Emil's resume is super impressive. After less than a year in comedy, he won the 10th Annual Bloomington Comedy Festival. Soon after, he began touring the country with Nikki Glaser, performing in both comedy clubs and theaters. He wrote jokes for the Comedy Central Roast of Alec Baldwin and appeared on Comedy Central Radio on XM/Sirius. And in 2021, Emil will be featured in an episode of "Hunters," a new documentary-style show on Vice. Join us and let's send Emil out in style!
