Another Laugh

I'll be missing this event:

Ahmed Ahmed's Just Like Us Comedy Tour

Time: Saturday, March 19 · 8:00pm - 9:30pm
Location: Movenpick Hotel, Ramallah
Sponsored by: U.S. Consulate General Jerusalem
More Info: American Comedy, Live in Ramallah! Starring Ahmed Ahmed, Maria Shehata, and Palestinian-American Amer Zahr! Performances will be in English and Arabic, and FREE!!

On the star, here.

First, I don't think I can enter Ramallah. Well, I don't think I can could get out if I did enter.

Second, it's Purim and I'll be listening to the Megillah reading.

And third, I'll probably be having a better laugh recalling Haman's downfall.


P.S.

He'll be part of FUNATICAL:

FUNATICAL: Taking Comedy to the Extreme! is a hip intercultural, interfaith comedy tour that breaks stereotypes and bridges gaps between Muslims, Jews, Christians (and other faiths) from the Middle East & South Asia. Comedians poke fun of culture and current events, which they lampoon with humor and satire. With increased Islamophobia in America and the current turmoil in the Middle East, ‘FUNATICAL’ promotes cultural and religious understanding through laughter. The shows are produced by an interfaith team who uses comedy as an equalizer to counter prejudices in a humorous way.
