KUFIYA COMEDY
Where comedy meets community
Welcome, Salam!
-
What started out as the first habibi friendly show in Texas, has grown into a full on production of comedy shows, a festival, and theatre productions that span the USA and UK.
We took it upon ourselves to create the opportunities that elevate and nurture new MENA voices in ways that allow us to tell our own stories.
Because we not only have right to return, we have the right to laugh, love, and dream.

We are currently presenting Majenin - a Palestinian love story, a Silver EFFTA Award winning critically acclaimed play by writer/performer Marena Riyad.
The world premiere was at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026 in Scotland. Next stop is London in Nov for a limited run at Theatre503, and as the proud recepient of the Elevator Project Fund, back to Dallas, TX in April 2027 at the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
MAJENIN - a Palestinian love story
A tale of two fools who dare to love in a world obsessed with their sadness. This is the Palestinian rom-com you've been waiting for: a darkly funny, tender story about the delicious madness of finding someone who feels like home.
A welcome occupation of the heart.
“Toeing the lines between stand-up and theatre…it is a play that refuses to be forgotten.”

“It was so good! It was intimate and fun. The crowd was great, and the comics were amazing!"

“Kufiya Comedy is a tiny, multicultural hub in North Texas. And it’s something of a comedy lab, a training ground…Kufiya Comedy draws an audience that is almost entirely Middle Eastern, African American and Asian American.”
