In Episode 13, Persian Girl Podcast interviews comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi
(@noam_joon on instagram). Noam talks about her upbringing in Neve Shalom (in Arabic, Wahat al-Salam), the mixed Jewish-Arab community outside of Jerusalem. She also goes into further detail of how her Middle Eastern heritage allows her to take her comedy certain places where most people cannot (literally and metaphorically). Noam tells PGP about her experience of doing standup comedy in the West Bank and how she plans to incite political change through the medium of comedy.

Noam will be doing performing in America in the Fall of 2019 as she completes a residency at Harvard University.
