JOHN ACHKAR
Presented by FKP Scorpio
Performed in Arabic
Age limit: 13+
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
With four specials and more than 150,000 audience members worldwide behind him, John Achkar now brings his most personal show to date. In this new performance, he takes on identity, family, faith, and the social and political contradictions that shaped him — with sharpness, self-awareness, and precise, hard-hitting humor.
John Achkar is a Lebanese comedian, TV personality and storyteller whose stand-up moves between the personal and the political. His comedy is fast, honest and often uncomfortably accurate, which has made him one of the most compelling names in Arabic stand-up right now.
This is a show that wants to entertain, but also push a little deeper. Funny, outspoken and close to real life, it revolves around the values we inherit, the systems we get stuck in, and who we become when we start taking a closer look at all of it.
In October, John Achkar comes to Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm for three Swedish dates with a show that offers both recognition and a lot of laughter.
Please note: This show includes difficult themes that may be distressing for some audiences. Come with an open heart and mind.
