Comedy

John Achkar: His country is collapsing. He's having a baby. So obviously, this is the right year for a Lebanese comedian you've never heard of to try English stand-up for the first time.

From Lebanon to Edinburgh, an international star starts from the bottom

Fresh off a sold-out Arabic tour across 85 cities, John has decided, for reasons he's still figuring out, that now is the time to try stand-up in his third language. He hasn't checked if Edinburgh is ready. He hasn't checked if his vocabulary is ready. But somewhere in the chaos, he's betting on one simple theory: we're all carrying the same stories, just told in different languages.
