Win Tickets
I have two tickets to give away to the live stream of The El-Salomons, who will close out the festival on November 28th.
The El-Salomons are a married Jewish-Palestinian lesbian comedy couple (Jess Salomon & Eman El-Husseini) who after years of performing solo decided to add yet another challenge to their relationship: A duo act! Now they tell jokes about one another, in front each other. A sacrifice they make for the fans. Jess and Eman mix jokes and stories inspired by the politics of their relationship with observational humour about love in general. Jess Salomon ( The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon ) and Eman El-Husseini ( Just for Laughs ) met and fell in love at a comedy club in Montreal a decade ago. After just one year of performing together this hilarious couple recorded a comedy special at the prestigious Just for Laughs Festival, now available in Canada on Crave TV.
