About

Join comedian Alaa Shehada for a special screening of Alaa Aliabdallah’s powerful debut documentary, Palestine Comedy Club.

Six Palestinian stand-up comedians write and tour a stand-up comedy show exploring the unlikely, often dark humour that surrounds the complexity of Palestinian identity. What starts as a blending of comic traditions to encourage honest and open reflections through the shared enjoyment of laughter becomes an existential imperative to survival and sharing common humanity.

Alaa Shehada will be joined by Palestine Comedy Club co-founders, Sam Beale and Charlotte Knowles to discuss the documentary and the origin story of Palestine Comedy Club (PalCom), the work PalCom is doing to amplify Palestinian stories through comedy and the plans for the future.

Winner of the Spirit of Raindance Award 2025.

All PalCom's profits will support their mission to champion Palestinian artists and the development of the film's journey.
