Libyan Comedian Mohanad Elshieky tells us the fascinating story of how he went from being a child in Muammar Gaddafi's Libya, to a political radio host in Benghazi during Gaddafi's fall, to a man being hunted for the jokes he made on the radio and finally to a political refugee granted asylum in the United States of America. Mohanad has appeared on CONAN and currently tours the US doing comedy. Follow him on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/MohanadElshieky.
