EP87: The Standup Comic from Benghazi: Mohanad Elshieky

Watch the video version of this conversation (for patrons): https://www.patreon.com/posts/Fstand-up-comic-24142960  Mohanad Elshieky is killing it. Conan O'Brien named him one of his "comics to watch." Wanda Sykes tapped him for her show, "Unprotected Sets." An immigrant and refugee who arrived in the United States from Libya just a few years ago, Mohanad is rising fast. His observations about everything he talks about—his Arab background, being named after the Prophet Muhammad's sword, and the absurdities of life in America—are spot on. We go into a lot of detail discussing his first-hand experience watching the downfall of Gaddafi and the 2012 attack on the US consulate in his city.
