Mo Amer: El Oso Palestino Tour
Palestinian American comic Mo Amer has found a unique way to blend difficult real-life experiences with humor: His path to citizenship took two decades, he once endured a flight next to Eric Trump, and his performances often work to defuse harmful stereotypes about Muslim Americans. It makes sense that the humble, cheeky charmer landed the semi-autobiographical Netflix series Mo. (The second season started in January, by the way.) Personally, I’m hoping to hear more about his favorite vaccine. (I’m a Moderna girly, myself.) LINDSAY COSTELLO
