Wissam Kamal is Preparing a Stand-Up Comedy Show for The Deaf

It’s always good to see someone putting effort and energy to help people with disabilities, and this is what Wissam Kamal is in his own way trying to do to make deaf people feel less left out when it comes to stand-up comedy shows.

Eight years ago, and in one of his very early shows, Wissam noticed a deaf girl laughing to his jokes by either reading his lips or when her friends where explaining them to her in sign language. So he made it a point to learn the language, which he has been doing for 8 years now, in order to use it to prepare a full show for deaf people and he is now few steps away from making this dream project come true and possibly going international with it since sign language can to some extent be understood everywhere.

With such hard work to make the show possible, Wissam is being such an inspiration and I really hope we get to see his performance the soonest.

Nemr Abou Nassar Set To Appear on Showtime Comedy Club

Nemr Abou Nassar is set to appear on Showtime Comedy Club tomorrow night (US time) in a special called “No Bombing in Beirut”.

The one hour performance tackles misconceptions western people have about us here in the middle east and was shot in both Lebanon and Los Angeles, however it was edited in a way to show people from both ends of the world laughing at the same jokes to prove that we have more in common than we would think. It is an absolutely great achievement for Nemr to be featured on Showtime and it’s great to see talents like him and Wissam Kamal making it big outside Lebanon.

The shows will air on Showtime tomorrow October 7th at 11PM Eastern Time (GMT -4).

Video of The Jounieh Fireworks Show Last Night

IMG_9675.PNG

Jounieh International Festival took off last night with a 7 minute synchronized fireworks show along the coast. Not much people have yet shared the videos they took so here’s one from MTV Lebanon.

I don’t want to sound like a party pooper as I know many people found the show to be pretty cool, but I personally can’t but say it was no more than a repetition from the last two years. I mean I totally salute the municipality of Jounieh for their efforts, but I don’t think they’re being super creative with the awesome bay they have. I bet much more can be done along the coast especially that Dubai always manages to amaze the world with their yearly show and they only use one Burj Khalifa to do it.

Beirut Will Be Featured in Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain Tonight

150616131332-beirut-travel-minute-bourdain-00001601-exlarge-169

Anthony Bourdain is back once again in Beirut to uncover more of the less known destinations in the city on CNN’s Parts Unknown.

The available photos show him at military the military themed bar Abu Elie, interviewing Michael Elefteriades and exploring Music Hall, as well as going on a tour with a group of motorcycle riders on the corniche.

The first time Anthony Bourdain came to Beirut was in 2006 and he was not able to finish his episode due to the 33-day Israeli war that broke out in July, so he later came back in 2010 and filmed it again. Back then he featured places like Pierre and Friends, Souk El Tayeb, Le Chef, Onno, Chez Maguy, and Falafel Sahyoun. I hope this episode features more places of the unbeaten path.

PArts Unknown airs very late at night our time by the way so you can catch the episode tomorrow morning on CNN’s website.

The 2015 New Year Fireworks Show in Dubai

1

I wish this was about some cool fireworks show in Beirut, but it was the same boring scene here with stupid people firing rounds of bullets at midnight.

On the other hand, Dubai dazzled the world once more with amazing fireworks that lit up Burj Khalifa. And while they’re at it, they broke a Guinness world record by covering the tower with the largest LED display consisting of 70,000 LED bulbs.

You can also watch a behind the scenes video here on how EMAAR made it all happen.

Adel Karam’s show to start airing soon on MTV Lebanon

adel karam

I’ve been hearing for a while now about Adel Karam preparing for a new show of his own which will be quite similar to Bassem Youssef’s Al Bernameg, and it looks like it will start airing very soon since Adel Karam released the below teaser today on his Facebook account.

It better be really really good since people won’t help but compare it to Al Bernameg, and we all know Bassem Youssef has set the bar really high.
