Malik Elassal
Malik Elassal is a stand-up comedian, actor, and writer known for his sharp, heartfelt comedy. His Lebanese-Canadian roots bring depth and perspective to his storytelling, earning him a spot on Vulture’s 2024 “Comedians You Should and Will Know” list. Named a New Face at JFL Montreal 2022, he went on to tour nationally and earned viral acclaim with one of Don’t Tell Comedy’s most-watched sets, racking up over 3.5 million views. He returned to Just For Laughs in 2023 to perform at a Gala and as a part of the "Just For The Culture" Show, where he was a stand out. On screen, Elassal stars in the FX/Hulu series Adults, playing Samir, an earnest over-thinker navigating life, love, and unemployment in New York City. Before this, Malik won Top Comic in his home city of Calgary, recorded sets for television at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and CBC's New Wave of Standup, and performed the titular track of the Just For Laughs originals album ‘Yeehaw Hell Yeah’. He currently resides in Brooklyn and performs regularly around the city and in clubs across the continent.
Last minute plans are some of the best. Free last minute plans are even better. The list of free things to do in Austin felt a little short, so we’ve been steadily adding new weekly shows to our calendar that cost nothing, zilch, nada. Free. The city might be expensive, but the comedy doesn’t have to be.
There aren’t a lot of Austin comedy clubs that have free weekly shows hosting some of the biggest names in stand-up. If you just paid rent and still wanna make date night memorable, swing by The Creek for one of our many free shows.
