The New York Arab American Comedy Festival, co-created in 2003 by comedians Maysoon Zayid and Dean Obeidallah—is celebrating its 20th anniversary by taking their hilarious show to Broadway! The Festival was created to both dispel negative stereotypes about Arab Americans as well as create a platform for our community to tell our story through comedy. The Town Hall show will be the Grand Finale to our Annual New York Festival with an outstanding line up of the world's funniest comedians. Funding for New York Arab-American Comedy Festival’s anniversary tour is provided by the Doris Duke Foundation.
