A Comedy Show for Lebanon: Hosted by Emil Wakim & Nataly Aukar

At The Bell House, *A Comedy Show for Lebanon* frames stand-up and rock/pop-leaning performance as a benefit and a gathering point for the Lebanese diaspora in New York. The night is hosted by Emil Wakim and Nataly Aukar, with Wakim also performing; his New York credits include City Winery NYC, The Stand, and Union Hall, and he has appeared on bills with comics such as Leslie Jones and Dean Edwards. The show treats humor as a civic tool, letting personal stories and community context carry the weight. In a city where Lebanese voices often surface in fragments, this sets them in one room and on one stage.
