(STAND-UP) Like your yuks laced with sociological grit? Me too, which is why I recommend heading to the Seattle Center Arab Fest for tonight's comedy showcase. On the bill: Ahmed Ahmed, Dean Obeidallah, and Maysoon Zayid, each of whom has plied his or her trade all over the country and cable TV and is devoted to grappling with "what it means to be an Arab American in today's political climate and at all major airports."
