Ahmed Ahmed and Avi Liberman are the hosts of the comedy show, providing introductions for the comedians and jokes in between performances.
Marc Schiff begins the show with a vignette prologue wherein he explains that he although he is Jewish, he is good friends with a Palestinian-Muslim, and has been for years. He introduces his friend, Naz, and the two kiss and shake hands on camera; Schiff explains that they are bridging the gap in their own way.
"Shalom to the Jews, Salam Alaikum to the Muslims, Get off the couch to the fat people." Marc Schiff opens with this line, and sets the tone for a set which demonstrates common experiences everyone shares no matter their ethnicity, culture or religion.
Eman Morgan discusses being able to bring together groups of people who do not normally get along and creating one audience united by laughter. "My dad's been here thirty years; why does it sound like he just got off the plane yesterday?"
Iliza Schlesinger - "Yes, there are Jews in Dallas, but I have had run ins with the other religions who don't like me. I'm pointing these things out because as a comedian it's my job to point out the garbage in the world. We brought together 4 Muslims and 4 Jews to do comedy tonight, that has to help the conflict some how."
Maria Sheata - "I'm from Ohio, New York and LA. It was fun being Egyptian in Ohio - I was the only one. I don't know alot about politics and pop culture, but I know me and I think that other people can see something of themselves in me. I've been doing Arab comedy festivals for five years, but this is my first time mixing it up with the Jewish guys."
Dan Naturman - "When I first heard Jews and Muslims on one stage, I thought 'That's a great idea!' The one thing you probably wouldn't expect a Muslim to be is a comedian. Just to showcase that in and of itself, I think, is a great learning experience for everybody; to put them on the stage with Jewish comedians just ups the antie that much more. It really shows that we're all laughing at the same stuff, and we're all kinda the same."
Max Amini - "If I hadn't have become a comedian, I would have probably become the Persian godfather of Westwood. I was on stage and I felt the Jews and Muslims coming together, they were so loud and laughing together, they were slapping eachother on the leg, all that was missing was a bowl of hummus, maybe someone could donate a hookah."
