untonugganso I really like good stand up, by which I mean stand up which makes me laugh really hard and is not reliant on gross racist/othering jokes.
if this is also your jam and you have not watched Maz Jobrani, then let me take a moment to rec his stuff to you! he was part of the original Axis of Evil comedy tour (formed in response to George W Bush's infamous state of the union speech as a way to humanize the alleged evil terrible people in said countries, though I do not think they ever managed to recruit a Korean comedian?)
anyway, one of my personal favorite skits is about Middle Easterners and dancing. Partly because I have had this exact experience at several weddings.
(Pro tip: if the clapping gets to you,maramcreates very rightly pointed out that no one will know if you fake clap to save your hands.)
