Back by popular demand after a sold-out run in 2023, AMREEKA 2026: The Comedy Show is a raucous night of stand-up comedy, this year featuring an all-Palestinian lineup! This unique show brings together comedians with one thing in common: a deep love of complaining. The toxic culture and politics in “Amreeka,” as some Middle Easterners playfully pronounce it, offer ample fodder for further 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.
Potrero Stage
1695 18th Street, San Francisco, CA
Tickets ($20-$100) and Festival Passes are now available
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.”
