Queen Aishah – Comedienne, actress, radio personality and
philanthropist. From the “Brick City” known as Newark, New Jersey, this young
and vivacious personality began what would later become a steady and fast-paced
rising comedic career. Born Aishah Fara Hogans, Queen’s journey and life
training as a comedienne, which lead to her heartfelt motto of “touching
and healing souls through the art of laughter,” began as a youth,
with her maternal grandfather and her comic-filled family. While Aishah’s
initial exposure to public appearances began in the 11th grade under the
tutorial of a special teacher affectionately known as Brother Dunbar, Aishah’s
professional career as a standup comedienne began at the former renowned
restaurant and lounge, Mr. Henry’s in Washington, DC; an establishment also
graced by the appearances of celebrity comedians, Martin Lawrence and Dave
Chappelle.

appearance on the top-rated, award-winning Oprah Winfrey Show in
2004. During the November taping of the “Million Dollar Wedding,” Queen Aishah

tour. Once given an opportunity to make a humorous inquiry with the show’s
producer, Aishah’s candor quickly caused the producer to invite her to the stage
to fill her hand with a microphone. Queen Aishah left Oprah’s audience wanting

Understanding the POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD, Queen Aishah lives
her life to empower others through the gift of laughter while displaying a very
real example of how extra ordinary one’s life can be when one’s passion is tied
to one’s purpose.
