Maybe we could reduce carbon emissions by joining Al Qaeda. Who else can save the planet from airlines, oil companies and overpopulation? Al Qaeda is a non-profit, grassroots organisation which takes direct action against the world's worst polluters. The US Army flies bombs halfway around the world, but Al Qaeda walks them to their targets. And it sources all its fighters locally. Plus, suicide bombers are much more biodegradable.
Fully updated for 2010, Al Qaeda meets Al Gore in the comedy show Osama Bin Laden took seriously. From the writer/performer of international hit 'Jesus: The Guantanamo Years' - Sold Out in Ireland and Edinburgh Fringe; toured London's West End, the USA and Pakistan.
Abie Philbin Bowman is the only Western stand-up to have performed a religious, political comedy in a Muslim country during a State of Emergency. He's also the only Irish radio host to mark Barack Obama's election by interviewing the Ku Klux Klan live on air. He has also been endorsed by Osama Bin Laden and boycotted by Ian Paisley's DUP.
