Arabs Are Not Funny

In association with Arts Canteen Liverpool Arab Arts Festival welcome the return of the highly successful and popular Arabs Are Not Funny.

**Featuring:**

**\- Farah Sharp**

**Named 'One to watch' in the Funny Women Awards, Farah has been featured on BBC Radio 4 and regularly performs in major venues across the country and abroad.**

**"Farah Sharp is very funny. I saw her first!" - Seann Walsh**

**\- Sami Abu Wardeh**

**Sami Abu Wardeh (‘Blissfully funny...’ The Guardian) is a rising star of the Palestinian diaspora and UK comedy and theatre world. After bursting onto the scene with his hit live show BEDU (Top Ten Shows of 2022 – The Guardian) he went on to create and star in Channel 4 series THE SHEIKH. He is also a playwright, having had his work put on as part of CUTTING THE TIGHTROPE at the Arcola Theatre and has written for BBC Radio 4. His voice is fantastic (literally): his voice work includes a recurring role in Radio 4 sitcom DAMNED ANDREW and regularly reads for The Guardian’s LONG READ podcast.**

**\- Ahmed Ibrahim**

**King Kong winner October 2021, Ahmed is another of South London’s brightest lights, appearing at Up The Creek and many other top comedy clubs. His natural, relaxed style is charming and endearing.**

**\- Fathiya Saleh**

**Fathiya Saleh is a rising star in the comedy scene, who has been described, by chortle as “an absolute delight”. Born and raised in North West London to a Somali mother and Yemeni father, Saleh offers her own perspective on topics, exploring identity, family, the absurdities of everyday life and what it’s like being a “girly” navigating the world as a young Muslim. A previous Funny women finalist, Fathiya has been listed as ‘one of five faces to know in the comedy scene’ making her a voice to watch.**

**Suitable for ages 18+**
