Comedy opened the doors for us to say and tell and share stories that we cannot share in a form, in any other form of arts.
It's a relatable language.
It's an international relatable language for every human being all over the world.
and telling the people about who we are as engineers, doctors, children, lovers, teachers.
So it's a way to connect with the people.
And the main big reason, because comedy is a big part of our culture.
And that's what is not here.
Comedy is like when I call my mom, like last night the army was in my town and she's laughing, you know what I mean?
Like she's making fun of my father and my other brother.
So I grow up with comedy.
And every conversation in Palestine, if you go to a supermarket, it ends with a joke.
It ends with a laughter.
It ends with a smile.
And even it's a hard, tough situation.
And I find it myself is something really interesting because I feel it naturally is a way of surviving.
It's my mother because she cannot tell the story normally.
She got by nature the sit up of what we learn.
Sitting up the joke, a bunch line, a story, a building.
She got it by her nature and I'm looking at her while she's telling a story to my family or to the neighbors.
Shit, this is a master class.
