Imaan Hadchiti: Guinness World Record Comedian, Global Credits, Sydney Sharpness

Imaan Hadchiti has been doing stand-up since he was 15. Born in Mylor, South Australia, to Lebanese parents and now based in Sydney, he's one of the funniest acts working in Australian comedy right now. He and his sister are the only known cases of Rima Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that puts him at around 107cm tall and earns him a Guinness World Record as the world's shortest full-time stand-up comedian. Credits include playing a Mayan God in Marvel's Thor: Love and Thunder and turning up in Apple TV+'s Time Bandits. The CV is, to put it mildly, not boring.

Filthy when he wants to be, he’ll then blindside you with something genuinely moving. Years in Berlin and on the international circuit gave him an outsider-insider angle that runs through everything, and a sharpness that's hard to fake.

Triple J's Class Clowns in 2005 was just the start, sell-out runs at Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Glastonbury, and Sydney Comedy Festival followed, along with TV on SBS, ABC's You Can't Ask That, and, for good measure, Italian television. When he's in town, just go.
