Summary

Comedian John Achkar delivers a heartfelt and hilarious take on the chaos of life in your thirties. While everyone else seems to have it figured out, he’s still just TRYIN’. From everyday absurdities to giving marriage another shot, he proves being a little lost is part of the journey. Filmed live at Paris’s legendary L’Olympia, this marks the first Arabic-language stand-up special by an Arab comedian on its stage. Fresh off a sold-out 85-city global tour, Achkar blends sharp observations, candid stories, and a distinctly Arab perspective that resonates both at home and across the diaspora. Honest, fast-paced, and unfiltered, TRYIN’ turns life’s chaos into comedy gold... reminding us that laughter doesn’t need translation.
