Hello Amanda,
I'm helping to organize a FREE screening of Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show tomorrow at the Texas Union Theater. This film features Ahmed Ahmed which has proven to be of great interest to students of Middle Eastern studies. I have included more about the event and Ahmed Ahmed at the end of this email. Please consider sharing word of this film with students and colleagues and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Also, if you attend the event, I'd love your feedback.
I look forward to your response and feel free to share word of this.

The film features Comic Ahmed Ahmed
Ahmed Ahmed grew up in Riverside, CA, graduated North High School, 1988. Attended Academy of Dramatic Art in Pasadena, California. Has been a regular performer at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles since 2000. Headlines a specialty show at the Comedy Store called "Arabian Knights" that was the brainchild of owner Mitzi Shore, and features comics of Middle Eastern descent. He also was featured just last year in a documentary titled: Stand Up: Muslim American Comics Come of Age in which American Arab and Muslim comedians express their response to 9/11 through comedy. Having to deal with false arrests to death threats, these comics face challenges from both mainstream America and within the Muslim community. But they are all striving for one thing: to break through the typecasting and achieve mainstream comedy success.
