Few days ago Amer (my friend) asked me to check Jordan Festival website, I forgot about it and today after seeing the ads on the streets I decided to go there and check the schedule of the festival in order to see if there are any interesting events that I would like to attend.

Apparently the company that developed the website is called IT Imagine and their hosting servers are extremely black listed. What’s going on IT Imagine?!

When I called the number that was on the street billboards to reserve my ticket to attend “Amman Stand Up Comedy Fetival”, I lost the hope to be able to go to the evening that will host Axis of Evil and Russell Peters. They told me that my name has been added to the waiting list, but I believed that no one on that list will be able to get a ticket as people are very excited to attend such an event.
Few days later, I had the chance to get 4 tickets for the bonus show on the 6th of December. My friends who attended the other evening told me that they were amazing and hilarious.
