Omar Ramzi – The White Sudani

Born and raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Omar Ramzi was always surrounded by a very diverse groups of people from every corner of the Earth all living in a closed compound community. So it was like growing up in a kind of bizarre scientific experiment where within the compound the rules and customs of Saudi Arabia didn’t apply but just outside those walls was a different world!

To mix things up even more, his mother is Irish and his father is white Sudanese! So obviously he has lived a very confusing life…(like when the World Cup comes around he never knows which team to support…they all suck! lol)

He is one of the first stand up comedians in Saudi Arabia and has been doing shows all over the Kingdom ever since he auditioned with Smile Productions in 2008. He has opened for big names such as Ahmad Ahmad and Maz jobrani from the States and Jeff Mirza from the UK. In world of comedy, he is known as ‘WS’ the White Sudani and he basically just stole the west coast gangsta hand sign to represent that (he hopes nobody notices lol) He also has a passion for producing music of all genres from hiphop,house to rock and everything in between.

After moving to Cairo a few months back, he decided to start his own podcast sharing experiences from his shows and giving us here on Scoop Empire regular skits from his comedy. We’ve chosen a few of his skits below and we’ll be getting some more here, so keep an eye out for WS!
