Amman Jordan



Just got back from the 2nd annual Amman Stand-Up Comedy Festival, in where else? Amman Jordan....
It was a magical year again for seven sold out nights of comedy. Two of the nights were done completely in Arabic, I didn't perform in those nights since my Arabic sounds completely like English.

But it shows the increase in Arabic speaking comedy since last year only had one show, this year two shows and all with minimal security. The shows had monster headliners Maysoon Zayed, and the legendary Nabil Sawalha. Anyone who knows the 8circles of Amman knows Nabil right?! Of course you do.

I was proud to attend the event sponsored by the city of Amman, a vision of the municipality led by the Mayor, the main man Mr. Mayor. Maani.
Anyone who knows the 8circles of Amman knows Mayor Maani right? Then you would also know that he loves that big sculpture that sits on the 7th circle. I mean what is that thing?! Can anyone help me with this? Looks like an giant children's book exploded! You can see it in this link below

It was a pleasure having you over, although I haven't had the chance to interview you, because the security went loco when Mr. Peters performed..
You have done a great job, very relative jokes..
So well done Aron, looking forward to have you over next year
