John Achkar brings his stand-up show 'Feena Nehke?' to the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire. Four specials and 150,000 tickets sold later, the comedian returns to the stage with his most raw and personal Arabic stand-up special to date. Performed fully in Arabic, the show dives into identity, family, faith, and the social and political contradictions that shaped him, weighing the values and beliefs we inherit against the status quo that keeps us trapped in the system. The show includes difficult themes that may distress some audiences.
