I originally posted this in the movie boards but thought it'd get a bit more hits here. I caught a few of PBS's special for their "Crossroads" series and their next installment seems really interesting. It's called "STAND UP: Muslim American Comics Come of Age" and it follows several Arab and/or Muslim comedians as their use their comedy acts to confront issues facing Arab-Americans today. Seems like it would be both enlightening and funny. Here's the blurb from the official site:
