@omid9 "Its a huge deal. Mixed audiences. Sat together. Not a single comic told off for anything they said. An American Jewish lesbian who got a standing ovation. All paid for by the government. I was invited many times before by private promoters but said no. This time it was by a government we all felt was moving in the right direction and curated by Bruce Hills of Just For Laughs Montreal so we said yes. And it was fantastic"

"Those first live gigs in Saudi were deemed illegal by the government with the real threat of imprisonment for the performers and organisers. But the people demanded it so a Harley Davidson cavalcade accompanied the comics to the gig as protection. Now that same government sponsored a comedy festival in Riyadh. Big props to #AhmedAhmed and @MazJobrani being part of what instigated the miracle. From the doc #JustLikeUs"

"Six Kings Slam tennis event all week in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Genuinely incredible how its not an issue to anyone. Not a single player questioned about their views on human rights. Thing has been going on for days no word of dissent in the media. Quite the opposite its hailed as the sporting event of the year even streaming live on Netflix. Have you all cancelled your Netflix subscriptions yet"

"Absolutely fascinating podcast featuring Irish comedian @andrewismaxwell who has always had a natural curiosity about the region even before he married an Egyptian and knows more about the Middle East than most of us. The world is changing fast and a lot of western liberals dont like it (coz theyre really very conservative deep down) and his point that the Saudis are trying to outrun the conservatives in their own society is tremendously on point. Recommended listen before my show in Galway on Tuesday"

"@TConlonthecouch @helenlewis @andrewismaxwell @jimmycarr @OfficialLouisCK I have moral clarity on these issues. Which is why I did the gig and have been performing in the Middle East since 2009. The changes through art and culture in the region are palpable. Thats why they exist. You underestimate the transformative power of comedy. Comedians dont"
