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.

I checked on that. There are so many funny comedians, I think it's really worth watching. Unfortunately it's in the middle of the week with no shows on weekends. No luck :-(
I had the chace to watch Oubeidallah, Lebanese comedian, in NY and he was super funny.
