Khadija Sabriye

Khadija Sabriye built a life rooted in two callings: nursing and stand-up comedy. As a self-made comedian and Comedy Talent Award finalist, she turns her own story into sharp, warm material about identity, belonging, and the everyday absurdities of life between cultures. Her comedy doesn’t just make you laugh. It sparks thinking, and perhaps recognising yourself in places you didn’t expect. At Rooted Festival, Khadija reminds us that humor can be a form of homecoming too.
