Zahra Noorbakhsh Brings her Comedy Special to ICCNC "ON BEHALF OF ALL MUSLIMS"

ICCNC: Zahra Noorbakhsh, Muslim, Iranian-American comedian brings her comedy special to ICCNC on Feb. 2, 3, 4,9,10.

She says:

"So, I have a brand new 1-hour comedy special entitled, "On Behalf of All Muslims." Cause why not? Fox News doesn't get to corner the market on who's the most Muslim. And, I'm tired of having other Muslims apologizing on my behalf. I mean, I appreciate it... Like, I get it... I mean, it's... complicated... but to simplify...

Some Muslim artists work hard to build bridges and create a dialogue. I'm just here to take your jobs, your homes, and husbands – and yes, also your wives – indoctrinate your youth and creep Sharia across this fine nation.

Well, at least, for the month of February, and in Oakland! And, I hope you'll join me for some laughs while I do it, at the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California (ICCNC), where I am proud to be an artist in residence.

Details and tickets right here, but before you go, don't forget to use this nifty discount code: THANKSZAHRA. Be sure to RSVP on Facebook and invite a few of your friends!"
