Akmal has a fascinating past. Originally immigrating to Australia from Egypt with his family nearly 30 years ago.  He sums it up in his own inimitable style – “My parents didn’t tell us where we were going.  We thought it was two hours away.  Twenty hours later, we got off a plane and we were on another planet”. This, and many other bizarre incidents dot Akmal’s life – suggesting a career in stand-up comedy was pre-ordained, either that or he should have been committed early on

He has appeared at Festivals all around the world including Adelaide Fringe Comedy Festival and Melbourne Comedy Festivals, Montreal ‘Just For Laughs’ Festival, Vancouver Comedy Festival, New Zealand Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
