"Creeps From The Middle East" is an independent, non-monetized YouTube web series described as a black-and-white, relatively unscripted absurdist comedy with film noir elements. It's dark, chaotic, provocative, and often clumsily honest, blending satire, experimental storytelling, and personal narrative.It features improvised sketches and blends film noir aesthetics with explorations of cultural identity, urban life, and prejudice against Middle Eastern artists. The series stars Sina Khani as an auto-fictional version of himself, a German-Iranian comedian navigating Amsterdam and Berlin. Notable guest appearances feature Mohsen Namjoo, Stefano Keizers (Donny Ronny), Tarik Sadouma and Adelheid Roosen.
