Performed in Arabic, TRYIN’ (AAM JARRIB) is John Achkar’s dive into the comedy and contradictions of modern Arab life. Touring across cities around the world, the show speaks to both those who stayed and those who left, the Arab diaspora scattered everywhere. It’s about the quiet weight so many of us carry: the pressure of what’s next, and the pressure to make it, for your family, for your country, and for yourself.

It’s an unfiltered, fast-paced hour that proves laughter doesn’t need translation. This show is SEATED & in ARABIC
