At the top of his solo show Dishwasher Dreams, Aladdin Ullah is on the verge of his big break. He is auditioning for a role in a major Hollywood movie. The rub: the producer wants him to play a terrorist.
While waiting for his audition, Aladdin reflects on the struggles of his Bengali immigrant parents, their determination to raise him Muslim in the poor housing projects of Spanish Harlem, his own determination to follow his own path—through Hip hop and graffiti art to the comedy circuit he became famous on—with Reggie Jackson and the Yankees providing inspiration along the way.
A gifted storyteller, Aladdin Ullah takes us on a journey, at once hilarious and serious, that explores the nature of the American dream in our multi-cultural America of 2018.
