AMMAN, JORDAN, November 27, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The extra show came in response to the mounting demand for tickets as hundreds of calls through the Festival's hotline came in requesting an extra performance for the famous Russell Peters.
The December 6th, 2008 show will feature Russell Peters, Ahmed Ahmed, Aron Kader, Dean Obeidallah, and Azhar Usman.
"We are pleased that the Festival was met with such great enthusiasm from Jordan and all over the Middle East. We anticipated that this festival will increase tourist traffic to Amman during the month of December and from the positive indications it seems that might just be possible. The open call for auditions on November 29th, 2008 which will take place at the Al-Hussein Cultural Center, will also support our attempt at placing Jordan and its talent pool on the international map of comedy, as a number of Jordanian comics will appear in front of a judging panel to determine if they can be included in the Festival's lineup," explained Mayor of Amman, Mr. Omar Maani.
