Noam Shuster-Eliassi is an Israeli comedian, performer, peacebuilder, and activist known for her fearless satire and commitment to justice. Raised in Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, a village where Jews and Palestinians live together, Noam uses humor to bridge divides and challenge dominant narratives. She performs in Hebrew, Arabic, and English, tackling issues of politics, identity, and coexistence.
Her viral stand-up special “Coexistence My Ass!”—performed entirely in Arabic—uses biting comedy to critique tokenism, inequality, and performative peacebuilding. Noam’s work has gained international attention for its boldness and cross-cultural resonance, using comedy as a tool for dialogue, resistance, and amplifying underrepresented voices.
