PBS documentary - "Stand Up: Muslim American Comics Come of Age"
May 11, 2008 10:00 -11:00 PM
PBS
I'm one of the five comedians featured in this documentary (along with Ahmed Ahmed, Maysoon Zayid, Azhar Usman and Tissa Hammi) airing nationally on PBS in Spring 2008. It was filmed over the past two years. Here are the details: The latest installment in the AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS series explores the emergence of Muslim- and Arab-American comedians in the wake of 9/11, demonstrating how they use humor to take on stereotypes about Middle Easterners and terrorism. The film showcases five performers, their comedy and the way it is shaped by the everyday tribulations of their lives. Some of the comics are Arab, some are Muslim and some are both. All are Americans. This is the story of how each of these men and women felt the aftershock of 9/11. At a time when people of Middle Eastern background were advised to lie low, they all chose to stand up...and crack jokes.
