Axis of Evile Comedy Tour

Last night, after watching "Invincible" which almost made me cry with

awesome, I watched the third comedian of the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour

on Comedy Central. I think the first two were of Arab-something,

something, but this guy was I believe Persian-American. He was

definitely Persian something.

The first half of his act was really bad, but in like, a way so bad it

was good. He actually did a "Iranians talk like this, but Arabs, they

talk like this" bit. I could not believe this was happening. And black

guys are named Carl, but white guys are named Lenny.

His jokes were less jokes than observations that only Middle

Easterners could relate to, like don't you hate it when your white

friends think you know what's going to happen with oil markets or

don't you hate it when you're out of falafel? What made this

entertaining was how much the audience was loving this. They were

hysterical, absolutely losing their shit, slapping their knees because

damn it could they relate.

But then something happened after the commercial: he got funny. I

don't know why, but all of the sudden he started telling really funny

jokes. I forget the Iranian comedian's name, but he was very good.
