أحمد أحمد
Ahmed Ahmed, the Egyptian-American and founder of the group, believed that post 9/11 standup material should be tested in the Middle East before traveling anywhere else. Before the group had even been formed, Ahmed Ahmed had been hired to perform a private show in Dubai, in order to fundraise and put Palestinian kids through medical school. This led to the tour he called "The Axis of Evil Tour," in which he featured comics Maz Jobrani, Aron Kader, and himself to travel the United States with the aim to stop stereotyping and prejudice towards Middle Easterners through a comedic approach.
