(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- The Stress Factory Comedy Club presents Malik Elassal on Sunday, November 15, 2026 with performances at 7:00pm & 9:30pm. His stand-up comedy earned him a spot on Vulture's 2024 "Comedians You Should and Will Know" list.

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. 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.

Performances take place at 7:00pm & 9:30pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. The Stress Factory is located at 90 Church Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
