Presenter and moderator (2 years)
Welcome! I’m Fady Kassab, a Sydney-based entertainer, award-winning comedian, and skilled event host. With a career spanning comedy, media, and corporate communications, I specialise in creating unforgettable experiences—whether it’s making a crowd laugh, leading a seamless event, or moderating engaging discussions.
From sold-out comedy festivals to hosting high-profile corporate events, I combine sharp insight, cultural understanding, and a passion for storytelling to connect with diverse audiences and deliver exceptional results.
I’m Fady Kassab, a Sydney-based entertainer and the 2019 winner of triple j’s RAW Comedy, Australia’s most prestigious comedy competition. Whether performing on stage or hosting high-profile corporate events, my passion is connecting with audiences and leaving them inspired, entertained, and uplifted.
I’ve earned 5-star reviews for sold-out shows at the Adelaide Fringe and Sydney Comedy Festival. My comedy has also been showcased on national television, including ABC’s Question Everything, Channel Nine’s “Comedy up Late” and Channel Ten’s Just For Laughs Australia, performing in front of audiences of over 2,000 people at The Sydney Opera House to 8,000 at the International Convention Centre.
As a seasoned MC and moderator, I bring sharp insight, cultural awareness, and a touch of humour to events of all kinds. I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, tailoring my approach to ensure their goals are met and their audiences are engaged.
Growing up amidst the Lebanese Civil War, migrating to Australia, and thriving in both corporate and creative industries have shaped my perspective and storytelling. I draw from my personal experiences to create performances and facilitate discussions that resonate with universal truths. I am a polyglot, speaking Lebanese, Arabic, English, French, Italian, and German and I connect effortlessly with multicultural audiences.
Before stepping into the spotlight full-time, I hosted SBS Radio’s Arabic Program, where I conducted hundreds of interviews and produced daily broadcasts. Later, I moved to Munich, where I was EMEA’s Head of Creative Services for Experian across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
This blend of corporate acumen and creative passion allows me to approach events with an understanding of both structure and spontaneity.
Festival Favourite: I’ve captivated audiences with shows that deliver both laughter and depth.
Televised Talent: Appearances on every TV Channel in Australia highlight my ability to engage wide-ranging audiences.

AFG had the good fortune of engaging Fady Kassab to tour on a five-city roadshow of our mortgage broker network. Fady worked with audiences across the country, tailoring his material for the local crowd and resonating from state to state. Fady’s comedy is feel good and joyous, delivered with a disarming cheeky grin that pulls the crowd in. His material cuts across a diverse multicultural audience.
He is smart and quick enough to riff off the conference presenters and material that precedes him, in a manner that helps everyone look great.
But most of all, Fady is just really funny and puts everyone in a great mood.
