Info

All merchandise proceeds will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and the Lebanese Red Cross.

Mustafa Algiyadi, a standup comedian from Munich, showcases his unique humor as he cleverly explores the cultural contrasts between his Libyan Arab background and his experiences in Europe. The performance tackles various topics such as bad habits, religion, meditation, and coming of age, all infused with a semi-intellectual twist that complements the imposter syndrome he often feels.

This show appeals to anyone who has ever experienced feelings of alienation, whether they are an expatriate attempting to assimilate, a local intrigued by cultural intersections, or simply someone seeking an enjoyable evening.
