Albanian-American Comedian,
Chain Smoker.
This is the comedy website of Brooklyn-based Albanian-American comedian Ivi Demi. If you're here, you've made a great choice, or you're an emotionally manipulated friend that I asked to click a link. Either way, explore a little more, subscribe to my email list, and check out my upcoming shows. We may not know each other, but I appreciate every one of you.
Who the hell is this guy and will he let me bum a cigarette?
Ivi was born in Albania and will gladly let you bum a cigarette. A fan of stand up his entire life, Ivi first dabbled in open mics in Washington, DC while working as a Federal consultant. His comedy focuses on growing up as an immigrant in the U.S., his parents, and his apathy for all that life provides. He was voted the Best House Comic at the Laugh Index Theatre in DC for 2020 and 2021. He has performed at the DC Improv, DC Comedy Loft, Gotham, Comic Strip, the Riot Comedy Festival, and the Burbank Comedy Festival, where he was selected to the Best of the Fest for 2021. He was the winner of Rodney’s Comedy Club ‘Comedy Mob Festival’ in 2025.
