Comedy of Peace Stand Up Show at MBJCC

Description

Please join us for an amazing line up of four comedians for an evening of laughs with "Comedy for Peace" on Tuesday, December 10, at 7:30 pm.

Comedy for Peace (est. March 2019) is a project that aims to unite Jewish, Muslim and Christian communities through humor and mutual understanding. Our project brings together the best Muslim, Jewish and Christian stand-up comedians for an inspiring, funny and unforgettable evening.

Comedy for Peace was founded by comedian/producer Dotan Malach, who understood that although the political situation isn't easily fixable - on a personal level, we're all human beings who want to work and live together, peacefully. The first goal of Comedy for Peace is to show everyone that we can, very easily, collaborate, standing on one stage together, to have fun and to laugh on ourselves and on each other, without any politics involved.
