Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Stand-up comedians usually don’t make great cultural ambassadors because their job is to offend the sensibilities of everyone in the room for a laugh. Comedian Maz Jobrani, however, can do both with a daft cleverness that’s rare in comedy circles. His well honed material doesn’t attack cultural and political biases and stereotypes with acid spewing vitriol but he also doesn’t hold back when he sees something that needs to be taken down a peg or two whether it’s on a comedy club stage, in a theater or as one of the regular panelists on NPR’s “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me.” He’ll be in town to do a show at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the City Performance Hall (2520 Flora St.), thanks to the efforts of the Dallas/Fort Worth World Affairs Council. Grab tickets for $35 at dfwworld.org.
