With grace and wit, hilarious comedian, best-selling author, and disability advocate Maysoon Zayid jokes about her family, global culture, and her life with cerebral palsy.
Bint Balad is a laugh-out-loud tale of beating the odds and bouncing back in the face of failure. As a Palestinian, disabled woman growing up in America, her family taught her to dream big and to have no fear. She’ll perform two shows, one in English (on Jan 15) and one in Arabic (on Jan 17).
