Live Taping!

Comedian, Dr. Karen Williams, (that’s right—Karen recently earned her Ph.D), is bringing her new show “JOY TOUR” to Los Angeles. This performance will be filmed for inclusion in Karen’s upcoming documentary, “I HAD TO LAUGH.”

Known for her quick repartee, insightful commentary, and incredible audience connection, Karen Williams is unabashedly herself. She was the nation’s first openly lesbian Black comic to include lesbian material in her act. Since beginning her comedy career in the San Francisco Bay area in the early 1980’s, Karen has been making audiences laugh for more than four decades. And this performance will be no exception!

Tala, a London-based Palestinian, is preparing for her elaborate Middle Eastern wedding when she meets Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend. Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other, but the attraction is immediate and goes deeper than friendship. But Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made for her and escapes back to Jordan, while Leyla tries to move on with her new-found life, to the shock of her tradition-loving parents. As Tala’s wedding day approaches, simmering tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself.
