Bahaa Dabbagh

Hailing all the way from Syria, Bahaa’s comedy is so dark it gets “randomly” selected for inspection.

A writer, comedian and full-time cat whisperer, Bahaa blends sharp wit with personal stories about displacement, racism, cultural identity, and survival, delivering big laughs alongside uncomfortable truths.

A 2025 Victorian RAW Comedy Semi-Finalist and 2026 Comedy Zoner, Bahaa offers a funny, honest look at the refugee experience and the Australian experience, all from a refugee lens.
