The first of our new series in collaboration with Brooklyn Comedy Collective, Reid Pope hosts an array of “bad Jews” in an evening of jokes and nosh. Unkosher Comedy serves as a convenient excuse to tell your nagging family that you celebrated Shabbat, all while having a drink and enjoying some seriously funny Jewish stand-up.

The Brooklyn Comedy Collective (BCC) is an alt comedy theater and school in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn with a mission to produce irreverent, fearless shows from a wide range of voices, pay its artists, and inspire students to approach performance from a place of joy and fierceness.
