Ali Ardekani, best known by his stage name Baba Ali (Persian: بابا علی), is an Iranian-born American comedian, games developer, businessman, and actor. Although born into a Persian family from Ardakan, Ardekani was raised in a secular, irreligious household in Los Angeles. In 2011, Ardekani founded the Muslim matrimonial website Half Our Deen. Ardekani has traveled the world doing stand-up to a wide range of Muslim and non-Muslim audiences. He has performed over 400 events worldwide, including in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, for audiences as large as 40,000. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, USA Today, and Los Angeles Times and featured in seven episodes of DirecTV’s The Fizz News. In 2015, he starred alongside Omar Regan in the comedy film American Sharia. Ardekani avoids grandstanding and politicizing issues by simply telling it like it is. However, instead of mocking Islam, he uses a comical approach without using offensive material. His sharp-witted style takes a realistic look at the everyday issues Muslims face, including being a Muslim teen in America, attending Muslim weddings, and dealing with cultural issues that have impacted Muslims.
