NY Arab-American Comedy Festival
The NY Arab-American Comedy Festival Starts today and will run through November 17, 2005. The show consists primarily of separate nights of standup comedy and theatrical pieces.
The festival attempts to carefully blend the political and the personal. References to Palestinian suicide bombers are in, as are jabs at nosy, matchmaking mothers. There are jokes about Arabs worrying about Arab terrorists, and even a musical.
The performers come from a variety of religious and professional backgrounds, and many different countries. Organizers hope the show attracts an audience well beyond Arab Americans.
