A recording from our recent event at Sheffield Doc Fest.
“Join us for a unique look at the making of Palestine Comedy Club, a documentary that follows six Palestinian comedians as they journey across borders, checkpoints, and cultural divides to bring laughter to packed theatres in Palestine. Through live reflections, we explore the challenges of earning comic license in complex environments and connecting with audiences across vastly different backgrounds.
Meet the team behind the film as they share insights on the creative process, the resilience required to tour under difficult circumstances, and the power of humour as a form of resistance, connection, and storytelling.”
Speakers:
Alaa ‘Regash’ Aliabdallah (Director, Palestine Comedy Club)
Charlotte Knowles (Producer, Palestine Comedy Club & Founder, Tough Crowd)
Alaa Shehada (Comedian, Storyteller & Co-Founder, Palestine Comedy Club)
Moderator: Laith Elzubaidi (Pop Culture and Social Change Producer, Counterpoints Arts)
In partnership with Counterpoints Arts and Tough Crowd
