Description: Since moving to Los Angeles seventeen years ago, comedian Ahmed Ahmed has been challenging stereotypes and using humor to take on religious and political sacred cows. As an Arab- and Muslim-American, Ahmed is able to comment on post-9/11 tensions in ways that most comics can't. In the tradition of great minority comics, Ahmed toys with audience expectations and breaks down walls of misunderstanding.
