Reviews
"Rabiah Coon’s set was probably my favourite as the delivery was unique in its bluntness and I am a huge fan of blunt humour. Upon arriving to the stage, she sets up asking us to guess where she is from. Thinking I’m quite smart, I hear her American accent and immediately think the opposite… after all, many non-English speaking countries tend to adopt an American dialect and accent when teaching English. Fortunately for Rabiah, and a compliment to her brilliant spontaneity, this assumption plays right into her hands and she was able to play on the idea that maybe I thought she was Canadian, which is brilliant for her street cred dude to Canadians’ general reputation of being nice people. She used a lot of her feet thenceforth to play into the audience and get to know them, and then obviously, crack jokes at their expense."

Watch Rabiah Perform
November 2019 in Los Angeles.
Since then, I have done over 250 gigs, virtually and in-person in Portland, San Diego, London and other cities.
During lockdowns in London, I did over 70 gigs. Some material only works online, like this bit about camera angles on Zoom calls. Those of us who work remotely continue to experience this.
My First Time
This is my very first five-minute set, performed at Comedy Palace in San Diego. This is my “home club”. I made my first comedy friends in that class and learned a lot, mostly that this was something I could do if I just had the confidence.
Why Comedy?
It started with a goal. When I was 30, I said I would do comedy by the time I was 40. When I was 35, I said it again.
In 2019, the year I turned 40, I took the stage with a month to spare. Some would call it a mid-life crisis then. If that’s true, the good news is that I’ll live to be 80 so that’s 40 more years to write material.
I have always loved to laugh and loved to make others laugh and that I get to do it on stage sometimes is a privilege.
