Comedy for Peace

Join for an extraordinary night of comedy and laughter featuring a stellar lineup of comedians. Experience the wit and humor of a diverse range of performers: from one of the most promising up-and-coming comedians, who uniquely embodies Black, Persian, Jewish, and Muslim identities – Tehran Von Ghasri, to the only Orthodox Jewish woman comedian who brings her own distinct perspective, Carmiya Weinraub. Not to be missed are the performances by Gibran Saleem, a Muslim American, raised in a Pakistani household in Virginia and Erik Angel, an Israeli Jew and the creator of Comedy for Peace. Join in the laughter, and leave with the realization that we share much more in common than meets the eye! Comedy for Peace is an offering of the Jonathan Samen Hot Buttons, Cool Conversations Discussion Series.
