The NYAACF is proud to be working closely with the Mayor of Amman's office to assist in producing the first stand up comedy festival in the history of the Middle East.

The Amman Stand Up Comedy Festival will be held in Amman, Jordan from December 2-5, 2008 and will feature over 15 stand up comedians from the US, Canada, Australia, Lebanon and Jordan. The Festival will be headlined by internationally known comedian Russell Peters. This not for profit festival will hopefully become an annual tradition in Jordan showcasing the top comedic talent from around the world. For more details about this Festival, click here.
