Comedian and writer Dina Hashem has set a November 10th premiere date for Dina Hashem: Dark Little Whispers, her first-ever stand-up special, which is headed for Prime Video.
In Hashem’s breakout hour of comedy, exec produced by fellow comic Sam Morril (Netflix’s Same Time Tomorrow), she discusses everything from death threats and existential dilemmas, to relationship problems, quiet people, and her upbringing as a first generation Arab-American. Amazon Studios and POP Studios served as producers.
In addition to Hashem and Morril, EPs included Kelly Van Valkenburg and James Webb.
Currently a writer on The Daily Show, Hashem has also recently been staffed on Season 2 of Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls, as well as B.J. Novak’s FX anthology The Premise. Known for her deadpan delivery and nuanced observations on stage, she has been a stand-out on the New York comedy scene since landing her first appearance on Comedy Central’s Roast Battle. Named one of Team Coco’s “Comics to Watch” in 2017, she made her late-night debut on Conan and garnered nearly three million views with a set for Comedy Central Digital.
Previously seen on series like Night Train with Wyatt Cenac, 2 Dope Queens, and This Week at the Comedy Cellar, she’s also worked in voiceover for Apple TV+’s Central Park and will next lend her voice to Ramy Youssef’s upcoming animated series #1 Happy Family USA for Amazon and A24, where she will additionally serve as a writer.
