Come Fly The Iranian Safe Skys

Last night I saw Maz Jobrany on Jay Leno. I’ve actually heard some of his material before, on the XM comedy station. An Iranian comedian brings a refreshing and interesting perspective. He jokes about the Americans, but does not spare the other side- the enemy side. He will throw a punch at George Bush while kicking Ahmadinejahd’s ass. When I saw Jobrany last night, I realized I’ve seen him before, in TV shows like The Knights Of Prosperity, and in movies like The Interpreter. There are two things that concern me about the dude:A. Can he develop with his comedy beyond the I’m-a-middle-eastern stand up?
B. What happens if he annoys Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the Iranian president? Will he have to live in fear like Salman Rushdie, who had to go underground for many years when Iranian leaders called for his assassination after writing the book The Satanic Verses?
Any way, Maz Jobrany has a good act going, and it’s very entertaining if not hilarious.
