"With President Bush finally gone, Arabs feel like it's time to party!" declares co-headliner and producer of the show Dean Obeidallah. "The show is a celebration of being of Middle Eastern heritage," adds co-headliner Maysoon Zayid.

"You don't have to be of Arab heritage to enjoy the comedy, the jokes are written for everyone to understand - even "white people," jokes Obeidallah.

The show features four comedians: Dean Obeidallah who was one of the stars of the critically acclaimed "Axis of Evil" stand up TV special which aired in Canada on The Comedy Network, in the US on Comedy Central and in the Middle East on Showtime Arabia. Dean has also appeared twice on ABC's "The View," as well as on CNN, PBS, "Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen," and is the co-producer of Comedy Central.com's "The Watch List," The Amman Stand up Comedy Festival and the annual NY Arab-American Comedy Festival. www.deanofcomedy.com
