Four top comedians will perform in this stand up comedy show about American/Middle Eastern relations:
Tissa Hami is one of the world's few female Muslim stand-up comics. She grew up in a traditional Iranian family in a predominantly white suburb of Boston. She holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in international affairs. Tissa hopes her comedy will help break down stereotypes about Muslim women and foster understanding between Iranians and Americans. She has a frequent media presence and was featured in the documentary "Stand Up: Muslim American Comics Come of Age."
Dan Ahdoot went to college at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University and graduated with honors as a premed student. But he chose comedy over medicine and has been celebrated ever since. Dan's stand-up act is based on his hilarious observations about everyday life as a young Jewish Iranian living in New York City.
Negin Farsad grew up in Southern California. She first obtained a Bachelors Degree in Theater Arts and Government from Cornell University. Since moving to New York she writes and performs comedy at night while completing a Masters Degree in Race Relations and a second in Urban Management at Columbia University by day. She also produced a film.
Jimmy Dore, aka Citizen Jimmy, was born into a Catholic family of twelve in a very blue-collar neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. He is part of Comedy Central and other comedy shows around the county. LA Weekly called his show “Completely Offensive and Very Funny!”
