Jamil Abu-Wardeh, The Infancy of the Arabic Stand Up Revolution

“Something magical happens when you are onto something big.”

(Jamil, TEDxDubai 10.10.09) 

Idea Worth Sharing 

Jamil set up Arab comedy shows in the Gulf region.  This show consisted of a diverse group from various countries.  He said people want this type of thing in this region.  We need more stories on the human level and a move to change stereotypes.  Jamil wants to revive the comedy circuit in the region.
