In an Al-Jazeera (stick with us, rednecks) profile of Arab comedian Maysoon Zayid, the 30-year-old Muslim virgin with cerebral palsy laments that being 30 and single in America is fabulous and very Sex and the City, but being 30 and Arab and single is like being 67. The remarkable Zayid is a co-founder of the Arab-American Comedy Festival, and she currently tours with the Axis of Evil stand-up comedy tour on selected dates. Look 'er up. But like all good things that pass Dallas by, she's not appearing when the tour stops by the Majestic Theatre. You'll have to be satisfied with dude comics Maz Jobrani, Ahmed Ahmed and Aron Kader. The Axis of Evil invades 7 p.m. this Thursday at the Majestic, 1925 Elm St. Tickets are $27.50 to $34.50. Call 214-373-8000 or visit ticketmaster.com.
Thu., June 7, 7 p.m.
