What is it about the holidays that makes things so tense? You’re at the big family dinner making idle, inoffensive chitchat. But then your politically incorrect second cousin starts talking about some hot nonsense and you start to lose your cool. Before you blow your lid, think to yourself, What would the El-Salomons do? Married standup comedians Jess Salomon and Eman El-Husseini — who are Jewish and Muslim, respectively — know a thing or two about bridging the divide. The two women team up for special holiday show dedicated to finding your inner kindness. Catch the El-Salomons on Friday, December 21, and Saturday, December 22, at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington.
