Allah made us tour
Muslim comics return to UK for charity gigs

A spokesman for the The Chuckle For Charity Tour said: 'Winter is a dreadful time of year, bringing untold misery to those already suffering in Syria and Gaza. With the refugee crisis intensifying we hope to raise money via the comedy tour to make some difference for those people who really our need help!'
Preacher Moss the founder of Allah Made Me Funny added: 'This tour enjoys a unique relationship with Muslim and non-Muslim communities around the world.
'I have sought, for the last 11 years, to convey a sense of pride, compassion, and gratitude to our audiences and let them know whatever goes wrong or right in the world, we're going to be all right.'
Moses founded the US-based trio in 2004. They previously toured Britain in 2007, 2009 and 2011 and released a low-budget Live In Concert film in 2008.
