“AFGHANISTAN IS NOT FUNNY” The Award-Winning Solo Show makes It’s US Premiere at the 2022 Hollywood Fringe Festival
May 15, 2022
Los Angeles, CA, May 13, 2022 – “Afghanistan Is Not Funny” arrives at the Hollywood Fringe straight from its critically acclaimed, award-winning run at the 2022 Adelaide Fringe. It opens on June 18, 2022, at The Broadwater Second Stage, 6220 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90038.
In 2002, UK comedian and 3-time Edinburgh Fringe First winner Henry Naylor (2018 Hollywood Fringe Best International nominee for “Echoes”) went to the Afghan War Zone with photographer Sam Maynard to conduct research for Naylor’s Edinburgh Fringe play “Finding Bin Laden.” They were threatened by a war criminal, captured by the Mujhadeen, and almost blown up by the Taliban. Now, as the Taliban return to power, Naylor incisively asks: what has been lost in the ruins of Kabul?
