Holy Humor – One Muslim, One Jew, One Stage
Comedian and Rabbi Bob Alper and Lawyer and Community Activist Azhar Usman are a comedy duo known as “Comedy’s Odd Couple” performing together in an act entitled: “One Muslim, One Jew, One Stage.” Their comedy routine aims to entertain and heal through humor and social commentary.
