Lebanon’s King of Comedy is coming to Cyprus to crack a good few jokes. His name is Nemr Abou Nassar and he has been making the crowds laugh since 2006, when he decided to use comedy as a sense of unity. He has branded his comedy under the creed ‘No Politics, No Religion, One Love’.
His first paid gig was in 2007, at the Café Rue 75 at Hotel de Ville in Achrafieh, Lebanon, and it was the first official stand-up comedy show in the region. Since then he has headed his own feature specials, produced and starred in the Beirut Stand Up Comedy Festival and the Middle East first live comedy radio show The Comedy Revolution on Mix FM, as well as performing in America and being featured on Comedy Central’s Insider.
January 5. Pattihio Theatre, Limassol. 8.30pm. €30/25/20. Tel: +357-25-377277
