Last night I went to Friday Night Live at the Madinat Jumeirah, which was quite a show. After the success of the original Axis of Evil Middle East tour, a group of about 9 comedians decided to join forces and tour the world together. I was impressed since they represented just about every demographic in Dubai from Filipinos to Egyptians, Indians, and Lebanese. The popular thing to do, of course, was rip into Bush and fall back on him and America sucking royally to get the crowd revved up. Each comedian eventually transitioned into making fun of Arabic traditions, cities, customs, oh yes.. and let's not forget about Israel, which always got a big round of applause and cheers from every Arab in the room. All in all, it was hilarious. My favorite guy was Ronnie Khalil. He kind of reminds me of someone who would have been in show choir in high school. I think it's his facial expressions and theatrical accent. Anyway, plug in some head phones since the sound quality isn't that great and enjoy.
