Shaz

Shaz Memon is a Dutch-Pakistani stand-up comedian based in Amsterdam, known for his sharp crowd work, chaotic storytelling, and cross-cultural observations on identity, immigration, race, and modern city life. Born and raised in Pakistan, Shaz later moved to Australia to study before eventually settling in the Netherlands, giving him a unique global perspective that heavily shapes his comedy.

Shaz has quickly become one of the fastest-rising voices on the European English-language comedy circuit. In 2025, he won both the Jury and Audience Awards at the English Comedy Talent Award at the Utrecht International Comedy Festival, establishing himself as a breakout new act. Since then, he has become a regular at some of Amsterdam’s top comedy clubs, while also performing internationally in cities including Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Austin, and Stockholm.
