Usama Siddiquee is a Bengali-American stand-up comedian, writer, and actor based in
New York City, who can most recently be seen as a finalist (and fan favorite!) on Kevin
Hart’s new series for Netflix, Funny AF.
As an actor, Usama can be seen scene-stealing in Netflix’s Inventing Anna and Survival of
the Thickest, HBO’s And Just Like That, Comedy Central’s Awkwafina Is Nora from
Queens, and FX’s Better Things. He recently wrapped a supporting role in the upcoming

In 2024, Usama made his late-night debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and in
2025 released his first half-hour special with Don’t Tell Comedy on YouTube. The special
highlights his signature high-energy, rapid-fire style, with material ranging from growing up
Muslim in Texas to dating misadventures and even getting kicked off America’s Got Talent.
Usama was named a New Face at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in 2018.
