While the 9:15PM shows on Friday and Saturday are SOLD OUT, there are still tickets available for the New Faces of Arab comedy show on Friday at 7:30PM...
Meet Dean Obeidallah - the half Palestinian, half Sicilian, ex-lawyer from New Jersey who left the courtroom for comedy. In 2003, Obeidallah and fellow funny lady, Maysoon Zayid, had an idea. "You know, we don't get a month that celebrates our heritage in America like a Black History Month," Obeidallah says in his sketches. "We get orange alert." They wanted to create something truthful to showcase the funny side of the Arab culture. And out of that came the Arab-American Comedy Festival.
