My name is Mona Shaikh and I’m based out of Los Angeles, California. You can connect with me on LinkedIn.

Fun Fact:
I’m a stand-up comedian and producer with over 15 years of experience, and I’m also the founder of Web3 is a Joke—a groundbreaking platform where I bring humor to the complex world of blockchain and crypto. Right now, I’m producing hilarious Crypto Roast Comedy Nights around the globe—most recently at major events like Consensus Hong Kong, where we invite top comedians to lampoon Web3, Bitcoin, and the quirks of crypto culture for a packed, diverse audience (check out the flyer above!). Our next events are Token 2049 Dubai and Bitcoin Vegas on May 28th.

What I’m Offering:
I bring a unique blend of comedy, event production, and crypto education to the table. If you’re looking to make blockchain events more engaging, bridge the gap between tech and mainstream audiences, or simply add some laughs to your next Web3 gathering, I can help! My team and I produce live comedy roasts, interactive workshops, and content that makes even the most technical topics fun and memorable.

What I’m Looking For:
From the Gildre Community, I’m looking to connect with sponsors, investors, and event managers who are passionate about Web3 and want to make their projects stand out through creative engagement. I’m eager to explore collaborations for upcoming events, content partnerships, and new ways to bring comedy to the Web3 experience.

Where I Could Use Your Support:
• Connections: Introductions to sponsors, media partnerships, tech event organizers, crypto brands, and communities open to partnerships
• Visibility: Help spreading the word about our shows and mission and our bran
• Resources: Support in scaling our productions internationally and launching new content formats (like a TV show or digital series)
Why I Joined Gildre:
I joined Gildre to meet like-minded builders and creators, share fresh ideas that blend entertainment with technology, and create a more approachable, human side of crypto. I firmly believe laughter is the universal language—even (or especially!) in Web3. Also side note..I really enjoyed my chat with Taiga first time we chatted and this was a less creepy way to stalk him (just kidding...or am I?)

Looking forward to connecting and finding ways to support each other!

What a coincidence that’s why I decided to launch Gildre with Taiga as well 😂
