#52 Mohanad Elshieky is Not a CIA Operative
The NYPD almost made Gianmarco miss a spot at at the Comedy Cellar and after complaining about that for a bit, Mohanad Elshieky shares what the police (or lack thereof) are like in Libya, the frustration of having your cartoons interrupted by Gaddafi speeches, living under a government that openly admits listening to your phone calls, helping translate for English-speaking journalists and then being accused of working with the CIA, hearing comedians complain about cancel culture when you’ve literally been shot at for your work, moving from Benghazi to Portland and then applying for political asylum because the government is looking for you, and we end by celebrating the end of pandemic comedy.
