On the final night of the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival in Los Angeles, there was a night of Stand-up Comedy at the Laugh Factory. Comics included Ahmed Ahmed, Jimmy Goson, Aron Kader, Ronnie Khalil, Nasry Malak, Helen Maalik, Dean Obeidallah, Maysoon Zayid. The show was sold out in advance to the point that some audience members had to watch broadcasts on TV sets in the performer's Green Room! Thanks for bearing with us folks!
