Reviews of Rabbi Bob Alper and Ahmed Ahmed

It was really great to see Jewish and Muslim comedy side by side, it helped reinforce the fact that we have more in common than we realize we do. I also really liked that they didn't pick on people in the crowd; rather their comedy was based on things the comics had in common with the crowd. That created a really fun, constructive atmosphere where you didn't have to worry about being the butt of the comic's next joke. It was the funniest ethnic comedy I've ever seen!

Alper and Ahmed were terrific at Chautauqua. They charmed us with good, clean humor and managed to keep the audience laughing throughout the evening. One Muslim. One Jew. One Stage. is a hit. Funny, bright, fast paced and certainly family friendly. These guys were great! A terrific evening of humor and insight. Laughter is the best medicine! Alper and Ahmed gave us a pill for the cure of what ails.

You "killed!" A number of our members told me that they attended your show out of curiosity, and remained for the full hour because, quite simply, you were so very funny, captivating, and unique.

The turn-out for your show was nearly three times our usual, making it the most successful launch ever. People expected an enjoyable evening, but I think they were simply "blown away" by the quality of your material and the intensity of the non-stop laughter.
