Mo Amer, Azhar Usman, and Preacher Moss poke fun at themselves, their communities, government, human nature and the tricky predicament of living in post- 9/11 America. Featuring music of rising indie scene artists, Allah Made Me Funny: Live in Concert is rollicking good fun and gives people of all cultural backgrounds an opportunity to laugh hard, drop their guard, and open their minds. --© Truly Indie [More]

Reviews for Allah Made Me Funny
It's hit-and-miss. But Allah Made Me Funny: Live in Concert is a film that doesn't let go from the very first moment.
The jokes are tepid and generic, better suited to late-night Comedy Central than the big screen.
It has the potential to be culturally bridging in its way, and that makes looking for Muslim comedy in the Western world worthwhile.
Between the sets, director Andrea Kalin generates some pleasant material by following the comics around in their private lives.
Allah Made Me Funny: Live in Concert, from comedy material written and performed by Mohammed 'Mo' Amer, Bryant 'Preacher' Moss and Azhar Usman, strives to be both timely and funny as it confronts the problems of American Muslims in America after 9/11.
While the concept is stimulating, theres actually too little political comedy here, as most yucks center on traditional men-vs.-women, my-funny-family material of middling inspiration.
