Blue Whale Comedy Preview: Nemr Abou Nassar

Nemr Abou Nassar

Blue Whale Comedy Festival is a four-day comedy festival in downtown Tulsa, which continues today and runs through Sunday, September 11. The festival will feature nearly 100 comedians, including Ron Funches, Fortune Feimster, Eric Andre, and Nate Bargatze.

Also on the bill is Lebanese-American comedian Nemr Abou Nassar, who established the stand-up comedy scene in the Middle East under the guise of no politics, no religion, one love.

Nemr recently sat down with KOSU contributing content producer Julie Watson to talk about how he's now using his comedy in the US to spread unity by embracing the reality of hatred.

Nemr will perform one set at BWCF tonight.

  • 5:30pm @ The Vanguard with CR Parsons and Ryan Howell

Tickets and information can be found at bluewhalecomedyfestival.com.
