Amer Zahr’s 1001 Laughs Palestine Comedy Festival returns in 2023
The Comedy Festival needs your help to grow and strengthen
Support the
Palestine Comedy Festival!
Should we do comedy in Palestine during tough times?
YES! Now more than ever! Love, laughter, and life keep us going!
The Palestine Comedy Festival is COMING BACK in 2023!
But we need your support to make it happen!
Please click here and visit our Kickstarter page and make a donation now!
If we can get 500 people to get $100 each, we can get to $50,000 and fund the entire festival. We have set a modest goal of $20,000 on the page, as Kickstarter only gives us the money if we reach a stated goal!
What do we use the money for? Flights, Hotels, Fees, Production, and so much more. Putting on a weeklong festival is expensive, and we charge a small fee for tickets. Your support will help us support local Palestinian artists, contractors, and businesses!
Can you support us with $100, $250, $500, or even $1000?
You can support us from anywhere in the world!
When you become a supporter, your name will be displayed at every show on a large banner! And the larger your donation, the larger your name!
