Akmal – My Family and Other Criminals

Event

Akmal returns to the comedy festival sharing stories and thoughts about people who affected his life.

Like his uncle, who pretended to be a doctor for many years by skipping medical school and simply buying a stethoscope and a white coat.

Or his Coptic priest (who he confessed all his sins to) who was also the local exorcist. Ironically, he was found to have several demons inside him. Or his millionaire uncle who, when visiting the Salehs, gave himself an enema using the family garden hose (we never drank out of that hose again).

In 'My Family and Other Criminals ', you will meet these lovable but crazy characters and much more!
