The Middle East Gets These Jokes | Andrew Schulz | Stand Up Comedy

[@svenvanveenschool]

This is why I love Andrew Schulz so much. He shows his respect by doing his research and shows that he knows the culture and what he's talking about and then turns it into something funny.

[@yitziyyb]

Absolutely

[@filho4437]

@@AlexH4774 Schulz is a good comedian. But you riders are embarrassing yourselves with this 'research' take. He didn't have to read a book to figure out what cars everyone showed up in, or figure out the fact that women are treated like crap.

[@shqipstashqipsta]

i was live at the show. His research is mindblowing. The locals literally spit out their drinks during some jokes and the energy was insane. I didnt get much of the jokes because i am from europe. But the jokes about the locals lasted only about 10-15 minutes then he went on with his „normal jokes“. Genius.

Schulz is actually an academic comedian, within a day of each location he's gonna do his stand up at , he'll have a solid 10 minutes full of jokes specifically for the country he's in. Jokes that you have to be a local to understand or even come up with, his prep time and confidence with untested material. Insane

[@CheriTheBery]

It doesn't come across genuine to me. I get how it feels great to have your culture and country mentioned and supposedly understood by a famous comedian, but it felt like he was reading a script and this "crowd work" didn't come across genuine. I understand stand up is scripted mostly, but still when doing crowd work I think comics should be more natural in that. Now that's just my subjective opinion here.

The knowledge Schulz possesses when overseas about modern/traditional cultures, ethnicities and generalities of the region is unmatched. The fact that he caters his shows the audience is what makes him one of a kind and top 3 in comedy atm. His Abu Dhabi vs Australia shows are 2 different beast but both masterpieces, respectively.

@@P71ScrewHead umm .. women are not allowed an education in many of these countries so no they aren't allowed to read the books or enter the library. However, in the UAE women are permitted an education and they are allowed to read, and interestingly we know here in Australia that there was a group of Arabic women who saw the way that Australian women are treated and were like 'what is wrong? why do these men treat these women so bad?" Respect is all contextual. I see their point.

[@garylake1676]

@@MahmoudMohamed-me8fv The joke has four aspects, historically it is correct, close by, there are countries where the joke is very close to the truth, thirdly, if a woman can access the books to clean them, then if she can read then she can take a peek, much to many of the local male chagrin, and finally, Schulz can make these jokes without fear of retribution, so, when you put all four points together, it is, to my mind, a very amusing joke.
