6.2Jeff Dunham and his iconic creations, Achmed, Walter, Peanut, and Bubba J. have embarked on an unprecedented world tour through five continents, logging almost 100,000 miles and starring in arenas where few American comedians have dared to perform. Tell the wrong joke in Singapore or United Arab Emirates and risk being handcuffed before you ever leave the stage. Bring Achmed the Dead Terrorist on stage in Malaysia after a government warning forbidding his presence, and you may never leave Kuala Lumpur. While Dunham crafts pop culture references that can excite a local audience upon entering each country, Jeff shows that humor is truly universal. Most of the time.

Reflecting on his eccentric Jewish American family, Gulman chronicles his childhood experiences with free school lunch programs and questionable dental care, as well as incisive swipes at billionaire-ism.
7.5In his debut comedy special, Bo Johnson delivers punchline heavy jokes with the gentle tone of an audiobook narrator. With his dry and quiet approach to stand up, Bo blends observational comedy about Murphy beds, board games, and smut with personal storytelling. Filmed in a small comedy theatre in Portland, Oregon, Two Sailboats captures ten years of comedy craftsmanship.

5.7The show “War, terror and other funny things” by comedian Omar Marzouk played to full houses in Denmark in the spring of 2005 and more than 15,000 people saw the 90-minute show, which was immortalized on DVD in Det Ny Teater. It's controversial and hilarious, and there are plenty of extras. Since then, Omar has performed to packed houses at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world's biggest comedy festival. The show was received with enthusiasm by both the audience and critics from several British newspapers. This fall, Omar performed three shows at the legendary London Soho Theater and has a major feature in Time Out, the biggest guide to London's entertainment scene. Omar's satirical take on war and terror is also being heard in the US. Both News Week and the Los Angeles Times interview Omar in connection with his show.
