And I thought,

Is it possible in all Syria, in all the dark humor and shit we have, I am the only one in Syria or Damascus that want to do stand-up comedy?

Just let me put the news out and see who are interested.

I needed a team so I can start, so we can do something.

How do you start to do stand-up comedy on your own?

I don't know.

You just got up in the bar and were like... Actually, this is a very good one.

I don't know if I told the guys about it.

Kamal, my friend, we were having a drink in Mad Monkey Pop.

So we were talking and...

I don't know.

I'm just saying stories and something like this.

He started to laugh, laugh very hard.

So he called Bisan, the owner of the place, and told her that I should start doing stand-up comedy at her venues.

She refused, of course.

I don't know shit about stand up at that time.

Like I'm coming from NGOs and bank background, you know.

Yes, yes, yes.

Most of my jokes come from that.

I'm a good roster at the bank.
