Lebanese comedian Esther Manito |
Comediam Esther Manito, whose background is Lebanese, talks to Wayne Walton and David Gardiner about her life and career and her live gig called 'Arabs Are Not Funny' coming up at the Waltham Forest Art Centre, One Hoe Street, on the 29th of September. Esther joins Damascus-born, London-bred Mo Saffaf, the MC, and colourful hijab wearing British Muslim Fatiha El Ghorri to shatter some stereotypes and challenge what people think they know about Middle Eastern ways of life, Islam, and Muslim women. But mainly to make them laugh. |
