I have been interviewed by Egypt's national newspaper about the war in Gaza.
Al-Ahram is the most widely-read newspaper in the Middle East. The interview was also published in French online for readers across North Africa.
They asked me whether Comedy can provide relief even in the bleakest of times. In the interview I talked about the Egyptian and Social Media hit comedian, Bassam Youssef, about Comedy course at the university, and about British subversive humour.
