Attendees of An Evening of Comedy will enjoy cocktails, delicious you-won’t-have-to-eat-dinner hors d'oeuvres, our brief and newsy Annual Meeting, and a comedy show featuring The El-Salomons, directly from New York! Dessert to follow the show.

Celebrated comics Jess Salomon and Eman El-Husseini are defying the odds: one is Jewish, one is a Palestinian Muslim. They're married, live in New York, and perform stand up comedy in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Toronto, Calgary, and many other locales. In fact, in late April of 2019, Jess was featured on The Tonight Show!

The El-Salomons' unique and clever routine covers religion, politics, and sex...every dinner table taboo. The El-Salomons are excited to perform in Denver for our annual fundraising event: Don't miss this opportunity!

Join us at the newly remodeled and stunning University of Denver's Sie Complex event space with a gorgeous mountain view for the killer joint banter of The El-Salomons!

What are people saying about The El-Salomons?

"The saying ‘opposites attract’ has never been truer for Jess Salomon and Eman El-Husseini. One’s a Jew from Canada; the other’s a daughter of a Palestinian (Muslim) family...the couple performs standup comedy—sometimes together, sometimes solo, but either way making audiences double up with laughter.” 
—Arielle Kaplan, Kveller, 12/5/2018

"The interplay between them was so fun and so natural...the most hilarious if touching moment of the evening, which produced a bit of magic if you will, occurred when Eman handed the mic over to her wife of two years and shared the stage with her for a spell."
—Jonathan Zalman, The Scroll, Tablet's news blog, 3/27/17

"Very funny, sharp & thought-provoking writing, great chemistry."
—A fan, 2019
