Four specials and 150,000 tickets sold later, John Achkar returns to the stage. And this time, he’s not holding back. In his most raw and personal Arabic stand-up special to date, John dives into identity, family, faith, and the social and political contradictions that shaped him. Funny, bold, and a little too close to home, it’s a conversation about the values and beliefs we inherit and the status quo that keeps us trapped in the system. If you think you know the man behind the mic, think again. You’re in for more than just jokes. Disclaimer: This show includes difficult themes that may be distressing for some audiences.
