The audience went wild, and Dunham avoided arrest. "Who knew that Achmed had a brother who's French?" he asked, and out came the skeleton puppet, except now he had a French beret and a mustache. Achmed was the viral YouTube hit that first made Dunham famous, so he cleverly side-stepped the ban. He also couldn't say virgin or reference any religion. You might want to ask Dunham about his 2014 tour in Malaysia, when he was ordered by the ministry of arts and culture to leave Achmed out of the show. Dunham's show is a mix of monologues, puppets and even improv and crowd interaction when he takes questions for Achmed, a turbaned dummy whose body is a skeleton (because he is an incompetent suicide bomber). That's Peanut, Walter, Jose Jalapeno on a Stick and Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

On the ban of his popular puppet in Malaysia, Dunham said, “How am I going to get on stage and explain to these people that because of their government I can’t bring on stage the very reason that they know who I am and the reason that they’re there.”īecause the Ministry of Culture and Arts would not allow Dunham to include Achmed in his performance, Dunham was forced to dress Achmed in a beret and called him Achmed’s French brother.
