Rosh HaHaNah Comedy Show

Start the new Jewish year on a high with comedy! Rosh HaHaNah is a fun show for all featuring Jewish comedians. Laugh about our shared Jewish experience and life in general with diverse comedians and get ready for a few sweet (and sinful) surprises!

This show is produced by artist and comedian Danielle Brody of @JewsinDoodles. All attendees will receive the Jews in Doodles 5785 magnet calendar that includes all American and Jewish holidays.

Lineup:

Mark Henely: Mark is a Jewish Comedian based in Jersey City. His Bar Mitzvah was superhero-themed. He has performed at comedy clubs all over the USA. He has completed 3 runs of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Follow him here.
Rachel Lander: As a 6-foot-tall, NYC-native, Rachel draws her material upon the absurdity from her life as a Jewish software engineer living in Brooklyn. After going to college for math and visual arts, Rachel decided to go out on a whim and pursue standup comedy. She has been featured in the NYTimes, a brief clip on Comedy Central, and most recently on wired. You can catch her at the show she runs called Brooklyn underground comedy or at most clubs / bars in the city! Follow her here.

Sean Leviashvili: Sean is a producer and performer who also created Menschions alongside his partner Rebecca Schwitz. You may know him from some of the holiday parodies created through Menschions including the “Vogue – Hanukkah Edition” and “Dysfunctional Dayenu.” He performs around the city and is participating in this year’s Queer Comedy Festival here in New York City. Follow him here.
Hannah Lieberman: Hannah is, by all accounts, a nerd: from her lifelong love of classical music to her national tournament scrabble ranking, to her insatiable appetite for all things Jane Austen She enjoys bringing this unbridled enthusiasm to all parts of her life, including to her deep passions for comedy and theatre. What she sometimes lacks in street sense, this adork-able Southern redhead makes up for in bubbly energy and a commitment to having fun through her art. Follow her here.
Shahak Shapira: Shahak is an Israel-born, Berlin-based comedian. His comedy show on German TV got canceled so fast, most people didn’t even notice he had one. Shahak has successfully bullshitted audiences around the world into thinking he’s funny and even tricked world-class comedians like Jim Gaffigan, Iliza, Maz Jobrani, Ari Shaffir, and Joe List into letting him open for them – ha! Fools! By making up a bunch of credits, he was also able to stain the legendary stages of the Comedy Store, Gotham, Laugh Factory, Comedy Mothership, Top Secret London, The Stand and New York Comedy Club with mediocre-at-best comedy. Follow him here.
Dana Siegelstein: Dana is a Jersey-bred, New York-based comedian. She is Jew-ish and proud of it! She also has a podcast called “Not That Deep”, give it a listen wherever you listen to your podcasts! Follow her here.
Chris Warren: Chris is a New England-based comedian and host of the “You Should Be Worried” podcast. He performs all over the Northeast tackling the topics of mental health and sobriety. He has just returned from his run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Follow him here.
Host, Danielle Brody: Danielle is a producer and performer who uses cartoons and stand-up comedy to share hilarious true stories inspired by her life and culture. She has performed comedy and her Mitzvah or Shandah show on stages and synagogues in NYC, the Catskills, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She also creates Jewish products, videos, and events.
