Palestine: Peace de Resistance

Off the back of a sold-out London run and critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe, Sami Abu Wardeh’s hit show blends resistance, identity, and ‘defiantly goofy’ comedy (★★★★ The Guardian).

This is comedy where silliness collides with survival. Blending visual clowning, emotional storytelling and draft humour, Sami Abu Wardeh speaks urgently to our times.

As a Palestinian born in exile, only to be displaced from his country of birth by yet another war, Sami digs deep into his ties to resistance and Palestinian identity. What emerges is a bold, playful and utterly original satirical show that asks whether resistance can be funny, and answers with laughter.

Peace de Resistance has proven itself both a critical and audience success – audiences of all ages and communities have connected deeply with the work – a testament to its universality and importance.

Contains mature themes and strong language

★★★★ “A compelling collage of historical storytelling, jokes about colonialism, and a silent-comedy style that remains defiantly goofy in the face of abomination.” The Guardian
