Winner of the Bestie Award 2026 and Spirit of the Fringe Award 2026.
Passionate, epic, and very funny.”
★★★★, Fest
Following a sold-out London run and a critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe, Sami Abu-Wardeh is touring his “defiantly goofy” (The Guardian ★★★★) call for mass civil disobedience.
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 – and still finds space for the silliest of faces. He posits- can resistance be funny?
A compelling collage of historical storytelling, jokes about colonialism, and a silent-comedy style that remains defiantly goofy in the face of abomination.”
