Navajo comedians James Junes and Ernest Tsosie III will headline a benefit show in Gallup, New Mexico, the Indian Capital of the World, on Friday.
Junes and Tsosie came together a year ago after working separately. Audiences quickly warmed to their humor, which lampoons familiar figures on the Navajo Reservation -- a Navajo Romeo, Navajo grandmas, politicians and heavy metal head-bangers, to name a few.
The show will be held at the El Morro Theater.
