  • Sami Abu Wardeh presents

    Palestine: Peace De Resistance

    Thursday 16th and Friday 17th October at 9PM
    Tickets £12 - £18 (+ booking fee)
    Fresh from winning awards and critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe, Sami Abu Wardeh’s hit show blends resistance, identity, and 'defiantly goofy' comedy. Can resistance be funny? Come find out.

    You can run from resistance, but it will always catch up with you – as Sami Abu Wardeh finds out in his critically acclaimed show, fresh from winning a Bestie Award and Mervyn Stutter’s Spirit of the Fringe at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

    This is comedy where silliness collides with survival. Expect an open call for mass civil disobedience, equitable distribution of hand puppets, and some of the silliest faces you’ll ever see.

    As a Palestinian born in exile, only to be displaced from his country of birth by yet another war, Sami digs deep into his ties to resistance and Palestinian identity. What emerges is bold, playful and utterly original: a show that asks whether resistance can be funny, and answers with laughter.

    Camden People's Theatre is proud to be partnering with Theatre503 to bring this production to London audiences.

    Presented by Salam & Holohan in association with Palestine Comedy Club.

    Written by Sami Abu Wardeh.

    Directed by Sam Beale.
