Brava Theater: Golden Thread Productions presents Amreeka: The Comedy Show

Golden Thread Productions Presents
Amreeka: The Comedy Show

Curated by Wafaa Bilal

Friday, May 12, 2023
at 8pm in Brava’s Main Stage

With headliner Eman El-Husseini, featuring Usama Siddiquee, Jackie Keliiaa and Emcee Charles McBee.
Amreeka: The Comedy Show was born after the 2016 election, bringing together diverse comedians with one thing in common: they love to complain. Then and since, the toxic culture and politics in “Amreeka,” as some Middle Easterners playfully pronounce it, offer ample fodder for complaints. This cathartic and witty venting holds a mirror up to reality showing it has become so absurd and surreal, one must laugh, if not cry.
For Iraqi artist Wafaa Bilal, the show, just like his solo works, “is an artistic platform for creating dialogue and bringing people together on highly charged topics. Not politicizing laughter but laughing at politics as a form of solidarity and resistance.”
