Crisp Comedy takes place once a month in Leicester, NC at Noble Cider and hosted by Leicester’s own Clay Jones! A fresh batch of comics each month so no two shows are the same! This months headliner is Zain Zaidi from Atlanta!!!<\/p>\n

Zain Zaidi is a Pakistani comedian from Indiana, where he performed regularly at Helium Comedy Club. After moving to Atlanta in 2021, he quickly became a familiar face in comedy clubs and shows throughout Atlanta and the southeast. His humor is characterized by a sardonic and irreverent tone, self-deprecation, and a unique perspective that juxtaposes his Muslim upbringing with life in the American heartland. In his spare time, you can find him on the dark web selling bootleg DVD copies of Air Bud 2: Golden Retriever.<\/p>\n
