Hey everyone,
So I was looking at some ted talks and i happen to find a video of Maz Jobrani. You probably haven't heard of him. He is a very famous stand up comedian in the middle east. He is a member of THE AXIS OF EVIL COMEDY TOUR which is a stand-up comedy tour featuring Middle Eastern comedians Ahmed Ahmed, Aron Kader and Maz Jobrani, with special guests Dean Obeidallah, Won Ho Chung, and Nick Youssef. The tour's name is derived from a speech by US President George W. Bush which designated Iraq, Iran, and North Korea, as the "Axis of Evil".
The Tour started in November 2005. The group jokes about terrorist groups along with being Middle-Eastern in America. Kader and Obeidallah are Palestinian Americans, Ahmed is Egyptian American, Jobrani is Iranian American, and Chung is a Korean raised in Jordan. On March 10, 2007 they were given their own Comedy Central Special. The group's current events sense of humor has attracted media attention. They have been interviewed by CNN, NPR, and Time among others.
I hope you enjoy the video. If you like it and you want to see more stand up comedies, you can go on yourtube and search for Maz Jobrani or Ahmed Ahmed.
