Afghanistan Is Not Funny

Henry Naylor’s award-winning solo show, Afghanistan Is Not Funny, Off-Broadway comes to SoHo Playhouse.

In 2002, UK comedian and 3-time Edinburgh Fringe First winner Henry Naylor (2018 Hollywood Fringe Best International nominee for “Echoes”) went to the Afghan Warzone with photographer Sam Maynard to conduct research for Naylor’s Edinburgh Fringe play “Finding Bin Laden.” They were threatened by a war criminal, captured by the Mujhadeen, and almost blown up by the Taliban. Now, as the Taliban return to power, Naylor incisively asks: what has been lost in the ruins of Kabul?
