BIO: YASSER KAYANI
Yasser is the token Asian of the group and is never allowed to forget it. Born in the sea in a cornetto wafer cone off Yugoslavia in 1916, he is currently married to Hello Magazine and lives in a gingerbread house in the woods with his three children - Rubix Cuban, Alan Hansel and Gretel Garbo. He married his first wife once, his second wife twice, and his third wife three times. Then he spoiled that arithmetic progression, but created a different symmetry. He went back and married his second wife a third time, and concluded by marrying his fourth wife once.
​
Meanwhile, in our world, Yasser works widely as a professional stand-up, sketch comedian, impressionist, actor and comedy writer; his style of comedy is highly surreal, absurdist and anarchic.
He is represented by Mac & Jeal.
​
