About the show
PalesTEENian is a coming of age semi-autobiographical solo show about aspiring comedian and Chelsea Fan ‘Joe’ growing up Palestinian in South London.
Palesteenian explores identity, culture, belonging and Palestine, but where humour is at the core. With the confusion that arises being part of the diaspora of a country that was never on the classroom globe, to hiding and finding who he is through comedy, Joe finds himself on the brink of stardom. But silently battling the heartache and helplessness of live streaming a genocide in Palestine, whilst questioning his own existence will he be able to succeed?
