Helen Maalik was born in Damascus, Syria, and came to the United States at the age of 7. It wasn't easy growing up as an Arab kid in this country. She got relentlessly taunted by kids and developed quick wit and a sharp tongue. She even had to beat up a couple of boys in the 8th grade. A stand-up comedienne based in New York City, Helen performs regularly at top comedy clubs. She puts an audience at ease as soon as she steps on stage with her charming and subtle presence, but wait till she starts talking! Her well crafted material and sarcastic wit gives this comedienne an edge and a fresh voice to comedy. She was featured on ABC's 20/20 on a segment about Arab American comedians and had a recurring role as an interior designer on the Oxygen Network's home improvement show Nice Package. © Copyright by YourSITE.com |
