MARYAM AMEER is an Iraqi foodie who introduced stand-up comedy to her homeland, because surviving dictatorships wasn’t challenging enough. She’s globe-trotted from the USA to Oman, collecting weird stories, eccentric friends, and an almost criminal obsession with good food. Five years ago, she moved to the Netherlands, probably for the cheese, definitely not for the weather. She believes every problem can be solved with a joke, a snack, or ideally, both.
