Where were you the night Barack Obama was elected? Abie Philbin Bowman was on the independent radio station i102-104, interviewing the Ku Klux Klan. “Given that Jesus’s mother was a Palestinian Jew, and his Father was God, doesn’t that make Jesus mixed-race?”
Inspired by Muhammad Ali’s famous anti-Vietnam rallying cry, “No Vietcong Ever Called Me Nigger” is the latest comedy show from Abie Philbin Bowman, the writer and performer of international sell-out hits ‘Jesus: The Guantanamo Years’ and ‘Eco-Friendly Jihad’.
A unique perspective on sex, bigotry and the audacity of hope from the only Western stand-up stupid enough to perform religious, political comedy in Pakistan during the 2007 State of Emergency.
