About Sami Abu Wardeh
PALESTINE: PEACE DE RESISTANCE is a storytelling and clown comedy show by Sami Abu Wardeh, a Palestinian comedian born in exile who has since been displaced again by war. In his latest Fringe show, Sami issues an open call for mass civil disobedience, explores the equitable distribution of hand puppets and asks whether resistance can be funny. Digging deep into his personal ties to Palestinian identity and his own history, he performs with very silly faces along the way. The show runs 70 minutes at the Ace Dome and is for audiences aged 12 and above.
Why see this show?
Sami Abu Wardeh makes political comedy that is genuinely personal. His exploration of Palestinian identity, exile and the possibility of funny resistance is both moving and laugh-out-loud disarming — a show that earns its silliness.
