After a hilarious sell-out performance last year, we welcome back the funniest Arab comedians to Liverpool for a very special edition of Arabs Are Not Funny.Produced By Arts Canteen in association with Liverpool Arab Arts Festival.
Line-up:
Prince Abdi
Prince Abdi is an internationally renowned comedian, who has appeared on TV screens across the globe. A British-Somali Muslim who lives in London, Prince has built up a solid reputation as one of the circuit’s defining voices. His career has seen him provide tour support to iconic names like Trevor Noah, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock and Jack Whitehall. As well as performing at festivals such as The Edinburgh Fringe and Cape Town Comedy Festival.
Fatiha El-Ghorri
Underneath Fatiha’s colourful hijab is a mind full of cutting observations and engaging witticism of the life and times of a British Muslim woman. Fatiha smashes the Muslim stereotypes and challenges people to think about what they think they know about Islam, Muslims, Muslim women especially. She tackles some tough subjects like Islamophobia and dating by sharing her own experiences which are funny, thought provoking and honest! Fatiha had Liverpool audiences in stitches last year – we’re thrilled to welcome her back!
