Looking forward to this.  CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and other 
groups brought the film, Allah Made Me Funny, a few weeks ago -- three Muslim
stand-up comics, in performance and in interviews with their families, etc.
Great stuff.

This Friday, come see LIVE three comedians -- one Muslim, one Hindu, one Christian --
performing as the group, Make Chai Not War.   (The Muslim is Azhar Usman, who appeared
in the above film too.)

It's all at...
    Fri Apr 24, 8-10pm, room 100 Gregory Hall.
and it's free.    See below.

Make Chai Not War
An Interfaith Comedy Show

As you may recall, we asked all of you at the *Allah Made Me Funny* film
screening during Islamic Awareness Week if you'd would be interested in
seeing the group perform on campus. While we didn't get the whole group to
come, we got the next best thing*—Make Chai Not War*, an interfaith stand-up
tour featuring a Muslim, a Christian, and a Hindu.

The lineup:*
- Azhar Usman* (a Muslim and co-founder of the Allah Made Me Funny comedy
tour)
*- Rajiv Satyal* (an up-and-coming Hindu comedian who has opened for Dave
Chappelle and Russell Peters)
*- Paul Varghese* (a Christian who was a semifinalist on NBC’s hit reality
show Last Comic Standing).

And the cost? It's totally *FREE*! Bring your friends and family because you
definitely won't want to miss out on this hilarious event.

*When is it?:* Friday, Apr. 24, 8-10 p.m.
*Where at?:* 100 Gregory Hall (810 S. Wright Street)
*And the cost?:* $0.00

Please see the attached flyer for more information.
