Kash Abdulmalik

Kash is a Los Angeles based comedian, writer and actor. He’s also someone’s daughter so please, show a little respect. Kash hails from the small town of Brooklyn, New York (not too many have heard of it.) After moving to L.A. in 2001 and spending nine years as the singer in a hardcore punk band (as one does) the answer was clear. Comedy. Starting his career with the Upright Citizen’s Brigade in 2008, Kash began shooting and writing sketches with his own team, The Public. He then relocated back to NYC to start the collective Dark Matter Video, and develop an animated series for Adult Swim. Now back in his true home of L.A., Kash can be seen in the new Bruce Willis film, Going Under and co-starring with Zach Galifianakis in FX’s new show Baskets. He’s also gained a following, performing in online content for Buzzfeed. Locally, he can be seen at the Pack Theatre performing with his sketch team, Turncoat, performing stand up all over town, or just turn on your television. Chances are you’ll see him doing something hilarious!
