Tickets for anti-Zionist Jewish comic Ivor Dembina's show 'This is Not a Subject for Comedy', running in Manchester for one night only as part of Manchester Peace Festival, are now on sale. The show will be on Wednesday September 22nd at 7.30pm.
According to The Independent, the show tells “the story of how Dembina, 58, had his own unconditional support for the Jewish state challenged when he visited Israel and the West Bank between 2003 and 2005, and the hostility he faced from friends and family for his views.” A review of the show can be seen here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2010/mar/25/ivor-dembina-review, and an interview with Dembina here: http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article11101.shtml
All proceeds from this event will be split between the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions and the Free Gaza movement.
Manchester Peace Festival will be launched with an opening concert on September 18th, headed by another anti-Zionist stalwart, folk singer Leon Rosselson.
