Fahad al-Butairi (Arabic: فهد البتيري Fáhád al-Butáyry; born 13 May 1984) is a Saudi stand-up comedian, actor and screenwriter.

He was then forcibly returned from Jordan to Saudi Arabia, due to his ex-wife Loujain al-Hathloul's activities as a women's rights activist.

Albutairi began performing stand-up comedy as a student at the University of Texas at Austin, from which he graduated in December 2007.

[8][9] In March 2013, both The Washington Post and The National named Fahad Albutairi the "Seinfeld of Saudi Arabia.

"[12] On 15 January 2016, Fahad Albutairi performed at the Hollywood Laugh Factory with Maz Jobrani, Tony Rock, Steve Hofstetter and many others.

Discussing the fact that his show is created solely for distribution on YouTube, although he initially considered moving to acting on television following the success of his stand-up comedy, Albutairi explained that "the Hollywood dream is not really applicable in the region, especially with mega-networks."
