Ahmadinejad Kicks Off Comedy Tour

NEW YORK (NB) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad kicked off the

fall leg of his 2007 comedy tour this week in New York. The tour known

as Mahmoud: Rude Dude of Nukes is expected to attract significant

attention at every tour destination.

Ahmadinejad opened with a show at Columbia University in New York.

Predictably, he relied on the familiar material that earned him his

reputation as a cross between Dane Cook and Adolf Hitler. The

beginning of his set was centered around his well known routine

'Israel is Making me Miserable'. In his famous routine, Ahmadinejad

neurotically kvetches about how a state so small could make him so

meshuggenah. As the night went on, Ahmadinejad worked his way through

other classics such as 'Jew's on First' and 'Black People vs. Niggas

vs. Jewish People'.

Like many comics, Ahmadinejad used the performance to test new

material on the crowd. His new material was met with a mix of laughter

and boos from the Columbia audience. In particular, one new segment

drew a significant crowd reaction. After performing a Jon Stewart like

impersonation of President Bush, Ahmadinejad stated, "What is the

difference between the Holocaust, an Iranian homosexual, and Haley's

Comet?...Only Haley's Comet happened in the last 100 years!" Following

a mixed reaction from the crowd, Ahmadinejad adapted George Carlin's

'The Seven Words You Can't Say on TV' for the Columbia audience.

Ahmadinejad's version, 'The 17,000 Words You Can't Say in Iran'

brought the crowd into a fit of laughter as he concluded his set.

Recognizing Ahmadinejad's ability to draw a crowd, Lions Gate Films

has cast Ahmadinejad in the sequel to their new movie Good Luck Chuck.

Ahmadinejad will replace Dane Cook as the lead in the upcoming film.

Good Mood Mahmoud is expected to be released in the fall of 2009.
