This is definitely one of those instances where truth is stranger (and possibly more delightful?) than fiction.

Jess Salomon and Eman El-Husseini are both very funny comedians based out of NYC that just happen to be Jewish and Palestinian, respectively, and married to each other. That alone could be a pitch for a TV show.

For now, you can enjoy their story in the comic strip The El Salomons on Instagram wonderfully illustrated by Jesse Brown. We will not be surprised one bit if this becomes an actual cartoon series somewhere in the near future.

The story between actually married-Canadian-Palestinian-Jewish-comedian couple Jess Salomon and Eman El Husseini is fascinating and uplifting. You can hear that story as they’re playing a special show, since they’re in town right now, this Sunday at the Pico Union Project right near DTLA.

Tickets are $15 and you can (and should) get them here.
