Overview

Muslim School Dropout is the uproariously honest semi-autobiographical life of Amir Yass, a gay Persian Muslim who traded Quran recitations for comedy sets under Hollywood lights. Growing up in a conservative Iranian-American family, Amir was the golden child-until he dropped out of Islamic school, came out of the closet, and discovered that prayer rugs and punchlines don't always mix. From awkward mosque moments to wild West Hollywood nights, Amir takes readers on a whirlwind journey through identity, faith, and finding your voice when you're caught between worlds. With razor-sharp humor and heartfelt vulnerability, Muslim School Dropout is a coming-of-age tale for anyone who's ever felt like the ultimate outsider-and learned to turn that into their superpower.
