Most of our guests are also Middle Eastern, South-Asian, and/or Muslim, with names that are likely to get stopped at airport security. We wanted to create a podcast to elevate and give voice to comedians, artists, and other interesting people who are “brown.” The name “The No Fly List” pokes fun at being Middle Eastern and the stereotypes that come with it. There are a lot of great comedy podcasts out there that we enjoy, but most of them are by straight white men and don’t feature a lot of women and people of color. Can you fill us in a little on the illustrious history? The stand-up show will feature a diverse line-up of your favorite brown comedians who have been seen on Conan, Just for Laughs, MTV and more! We interviewed Atheer & Leila about their upcoming show, Saturday, December 1 at 10:30pm! The No Fly List is first and foremost a podcast. Adapted from their hit podcast, The No Fly List, this standup show hosted by comedian Atheer Yacoub and journalist Leila Barghouty is wild a night of irreverent multi-cultural comedy.
