In an effort to inspire the next generation of Arab American comedians, the NYAACF is holding their very first "ARABIAN IDOL" contest. "ARABIAN IDOL" is a FREE STAND UP WORKSHOP & AUDITION. Participants will battle it out to win a spot in the festival's "New Faces of Arab Comedy" Show. "ARABIAN IDOL" will take place on Wednesday May 6, 2009 from 7:30 to 9:30 PM at Alwan Cultural Center located at 16 Beaver Street in lower Manhattan.

Since its humble beginnings in 2003, the NYAACF has evolved from a three-night fest featuring 20 performers to a five-night fest starring over 50 Arab-American comedians from across the country. But the size isn't the only thing that's changed.
