Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour launches the
SEARCH FOR THE FUNNIEST NEW PALESTINIAN COMEDIAN CONTEST
During our next Israel-Palestine Tour (Nov. 27-Dec. 9, 2007) we are going to conduct the Search for the Funniest NEW Palestinian Comedian.
We are looking for new Palestinian comedians who have not performed on TV or on a professional stage before. (We’ll host another Search for the Funniest New Israeli Comedian later.) Entrants can produce a short video, post it online and submit it through the Web Page www.IPComedyTour.com for consideration. Submissions will be posted. Judging will be by public voting AND by the four founders of the Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour Aaron Freeman, Charley Warady, Yisrael Campbell and Ray Hanania.
In the meantime, you can get information or encourage someone you know to submit their comedy video to compete, or pass the word around to any Palestinians you know who would like to participate.
The winner of the contest will win Cash (I’m working on the Prize Sponsorship Now) … and the Crown of being the Funniest New Palestinian Comedian in the World.
go to www.IPComedyTour.com to get more information. There is a form there than you can fill out to submit a video once you have created one. And, as videos are placed, you can vote for the ones you like best. The best videos will be featured at our Ambassador Hotel Show in East Jerusalem on Friday Nov. 30, 2007. The winner/s will be announced that night also.
Get in front of a camera and produce your video if you are Palestinian … please help me spread the word, too.
Humor is a powerful way to overcome animosities and no place needs it more than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour has performed to enthusiastic audiences of Palestinians and Israelis in January in Israel-Palestine, in May in Toronto, Canada, and again in June in Israel-Palestine. The response has been tremendous. Nothing is more moving than being among hundreds of Palestinians and Israelis after a show and watching them talk, laugh and get to know each other.
