Hamad Al Amari, or The Qatari Guy, as some people call him, is a Qatari-Irish stand up comedian who will be giving a talk during the One Day Training Conference this year.

Having grown up in Qatar, Ireland and the United States, Hamad Al-Amari grew up with a strong exposure to many different cultures, he claims this diversity in his life helped form his comedic identity and his general approach.

Al-Amari, although Qatari, has stated that he enjoys performing in English, rather than Arabic, as he says that Qatar is a multi-national country with people from all over the world living here - so he would much rather communicate with a larger audience when giving his speeches and during his stand-up routines.
