Yes, before you know it, Summer is about to turn into Fall. Of course, the great thing about that is that means the Arab Film Festival is almost here! But nevertheless, to ease your transition into Fall, AND anticipation for the Festival, the Arab Film Festival would like to present the first of the Arabian (Comedy) Nights series!
We have not six, not seven, but EIGHT of the best Middle Eastern comedians joining us on Friday, September 9th at M Bar! So come eat, drink, and laugh so hard you cry away those sorrows in parting ways with Summer! (not that summer ever REALLY leaves LA, but hey, it's another excuse to have a good time.)

Our line-up includes:
- K-von - Headliner
As the star of MTV's hit show "Disaster Date" K-von's humor has made an international impact. This hilarious hidden-camera show displays his many talents as each of his characters prove funnier and more outrageous than the last. Additionally, after a two-year standup comedy tour with Maz Jobrani (Axis of Evil Comedy Tour) and an appearance on SHOWTIME with Russell Peters, K-von is ready to unleash even more of his 'Hip Pop Culture' brand of comedy both on-screen as well as in comedy clubs. You may have seen him in movies or hosting on television but this is one standup act you will not want to miss!
