    One can’t miss attending a stand-up comedy when living in Lebanon. Not just because Lebanese stand-up comedians are hilarious but also because their shows are exactly what we need to forget for an hour or two our worries and hardships.

    These shows are not exactly an escape from the harsh reality of our Lebanese politics and social issues. They do tap into it big time and get us to laugh about the ridiculousness and the drollery expressed nonetheless with common sense.
