PACC – Comedy Show

November 9, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm UTC+0

Join us for a lively evening of original comedy with two stellar Palestinian American comedians, Maysoon Zayid and Aron Kader!

 

Maysoon Zayid, comedian, writer, and actor, is co-founder of the New York-based Arab American Comedy Festival. Her brilliant TEDx Talk, “I Got 99 Problems, Palsy Is Just One” (2014) is one of the most-watched TED Talks ever.  Known for her biting wit as a stand-up comic and commentator. Maysoon is also an advocate for the disabled and spends several months a year in Palestine, working with disabled children.

Aron Kader, of self-described “Palestinian/Mormon” heritage, is one of the founding members of the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, which toured internationally and introduced stand-up comedy to the Middle East via sold-out shows. Currently based in Hollywood, where he performs at The World Famous Comedy Club, Aron tours universities across the US and continues to perform internationally as well. Aron has been featured in The Wall Street JournalNewsweek, and TIME, and is a frequent guest on NPR.
