Pier 8, Salford Quays, Salford, M50 3AZ

Dodging cultural and literal bullets, Israeli incursions and religion, Mark Thomas and his team set out to run a comedy club for two nights in the Palestinian city of Jenin. Only to find it’s not so simple to celebrate freedom of speech in a place with so little freedom.

Jenin refugee camp, home to Jenin Freedom Theatre and to people with a wealth of stories to tell. Mark tells this story alongside two of its actors and aspiring comics from  Jenin Freedom Theatre, Faisal Abualheja and Alaa Shehada.  A story about being yourself in a place that wants to put you in a box.
