Comedy Central is making good on their investment for making a Comedy Central in the Middle East and North Africa.  

Comedians from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Sudan, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates will be featured on their own version of the Comedy Central Presents franchise. 

We’ll be curious to see who stands out from the pack in this series and if they’ll get to transition to playing on Comedy Central in the U.S. If the right comic/comics is/are found, this could be not only great for Comedy Central, but great for normalizing people from the Middle East and pushing the art form of comedy around the world.
