Imah, who is also known as Fatimah, explained her choice of stage name: “I chose Imah as it’s a shorter, more punchy version of my name.” Her comedy often revolves around the Filipino experience, deftly addressing stereotypes while celebrating the richness of her cultural background.

By playing with stereotypes and highlighting the resilience of her community, she challenges preconceived notions and fosters greater understanding among her diverse audience.

Imah’s success marks a significant moment for the representation of Filipinos in comedy. Her shows have become a platform to elevate Filipino voices, breaking barriers and opening doors for others in the industry. Her flagship project, Comedy Kicks, which she co-founded, provides a crucial space for emerging comedians to hone their craft. Through her work, Imah continues to shine a light on the vibrant Filipino community in Dubai, demonstrating that humor can be both entertaining and deeply meaningful.
