when i am in the united states, my comedy has to reflect my truth. i'm now an immigrant who came to america as trump, who was...who had very, very strong positions against immigrants and against muslims and against people like me, so my comedy reflected that. i still do political comedy, but i do it in the form of stand—up, and i do it in a way that reflects my truth as an immigrant. because if i go out to theatres and comedy clubs and start to talk, "this is what happened to me, "please feel sorry for me," that is, first of all, that's not comedy. and last of all, that is not a reflection of my truth. and at the end of the day, i am right now, i'm a citizen of the united states. what happens in the united states affects me much more than what happens in egypt. it affects my kids, it affects my children of colour, it affects me as an immigrant. the local elections in california affects me much more than the political situation in egypt. it doesn't say that i care about egypt less, but like right now, i'm in a phase where i have to have my comedy being reflected by my truth and my lifestyle and my everyday life.
