The Kinship of Comedy

neovids
This pod follows comedians with the Israeli Palestinian Comedy Tour (http://www.ipcomedytour.com), as they travel and perform in East Jerusalem. The tour was conceived by prominent Arab American journalist Ray Hanania , who started the IP Comedy Tour and became a performer after 9/11. The "IP Comedy Tour" has had several successful runs with sold out houses - both in Israel and in the U.S. - as well as extensive media coverage. The comedians are diverse-- Palestinian, Egyptian, secular Jewish, and Orthodox Jewish - yet share the common goal of promoting better understanding and diffusing mutual suspicion through the universality of laughter.

    • I've been keeping tabs of these guys online and can't get enough of the newer path they've taken using humour to get cultural issues and misconceptions across. A gutsy and brilliant way to bring us more together.
