A2 THE SHOW #596On this episode of A2 THE SHOW, we’re joined by Chaker Bou Abdalla, a Lebanese stand-up comedian, actor, and writer known for his deadpan, existential humor. He reflects on his journey from graphic design to comedy, the evolution of stand-up in Lebanon, and the challenges of freedom of expression, cultural sensitivity, and stage anxiety. With sharp wit and quiet intensity, Chaker shares how humor helps navigate personal struggles, generational trauma, and the absurd realities of life—on and off the stage.⭐ Instagram: @chaker_bou_abdalla 🔔Please visit our website to get more information: https://a2theshow.com/a2-the-show/⏰Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction06:17 - Why new ideas face resistance12:59 - Creativity, carpentry & calm19:39 - Teaching, creativity & fishing25:08 - Handling stage anxiety31:01 - Belonging, stress & identity38:31 - Chaker’s path to comedy45:38 - Dealing with tough audiences51:18 - Language, culture & Lebanon56:19 - Comedy as healing1:01:59 - Animated shows with deep themes1:07:38 - Performing across cultures1:13:06 - Finding humor in daily life1:19:05 - Detachment & personal growth1:24:28 - Life pressure in your 20s🔔Get on an unforgettable adventure with 'A2 The Show'!
