An evening of comedy and conversation with the Palestine Comedy Club exploring how humour can challenge power, shift narratives, and hold space for difficult truths.
Join us for a unique look at the making of Palestine Comedy Club, a documentary that follows six Palestinian comedians as they journey across borders, checkpoints, and cultural divides to bring laughter to packed theatres in Palestine.
Through a mix of film clips, live reflections, and a taste of their comedy, we explores the challenges of earning comic license in complex environments and connecting with audiences across vastly different backgrounds.
Meet the team behind the film as they share insights on the creative process, the resilience required to tour under difficult circumstances, and the power of humour as a form of resistance, connection, and storytelling.
Speakers:
Alaa 'Regash' Aliabdallah (Director, Palestine Comedy Club)
Charlotte Knowles (Producer, Palestine Comedy Club and Founder, Tough Crowd)
Alaa Shehada (Comedian, Storyteller & Co-Founder, Palestine Comedy Club)
This event is this age restricted to 16+
