Dean Obeidallah is an Arab/Italian-American comedian, who was born in Lodi, New Jersey. His father was born in Battir, Palestine, a small village near Bethlehem; his mother's parents were born in Sicily. He is part of a small but growing number of Middle Eastern-American comedians who've increasingly received media attention in the past few years, as they use comedy to both entertain and dispel negative stereotypes of Middle Eastern-Americans.
