Fuelled by the differences of Palestinian identity, rights, and heritage, five comedians stage a comedy show exploring what sets them apart – while never forgetting the uniting threads that join them in the tapestry of what it means to be from Palestine.
Named after the territory’s first-ever stand-up comedy slash improv troupe – which works partly as a training school for comic hopefuls, part touring group – Palestine Comedy Club unites creatives from Ramallah to Haifa and Jenin as they build upon a fragmented national identity to make their audiences laugh and bond through their experiences of segregation and occupation. Just as the group embarks on their first international tour, they find themselves stranded in London as war escalates back home.
Faced with the most atrocious of realities, the troupe pays homage to the Palestinian sense of humour even in the darkest of times.
