ArabComedy.tv is a new kind of social networking site targeted at battling stereotypes of Arab people. Although the network features Arab photos, videos, events and other links, it is open for everyone to join and participate in learning more about Arabs.
In my opinion, comedy is the best way to communicate, so this is why the site is focused on comedy and not general topics.
ArabComedy.tv was launched by Sherif Hedayat, an entrepreneur and Egyptian-American stand up comedian from Dayton, Ohio.
