The Dream and Team
Mission Statement
We are a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit and our mission is to support, inspire, and spotlight communities, artists and stories that have been underrepresented in media. We believe and support the Cultural Intifada and in the power of providing a safe space for artists to exist and express themselves free of any censorship.
Kufiya Comedy is where comedy meets community. We bring the magic of live comedy to unexpected spaces, while providing a one of a kind experience that combines the best of live comedy and Arab/Palestinian hospitality, for both our guests and artists. In addition to our monthly shows, and festival, we host touring headliners with pop-up shows in our studio and collaborate with local businesses for shows in their venue. Lastly, we offer resources and host community events to build a network of creatives, and help them bring their visions to life.
