Wacky Wednesday Comedy Special: Alan King - "A Wife is a Wife is a Wife"

Alan King (1927-2004) was synonymous with classic Jewish comedy during his career which lasted about 50 years starting in 1955. He had roles in many movies, but we remember him most vividly for his stand-up comedy routines in the Catskills and on television.

King began his comedy career with one-liner routines and other material concerning mothers-in-law and Jews. King's style of comedy changed when he saw Danny Thomas performing in the early 1950s. He realized that Thomas was talking to his audience, not at them, and was getting a better response. King changed his own style from one-liners to a more conversational style that used everyday life for humor. His comedy inspired other comedians such as Joan Rivers, Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Billy Crystal, Robert Klein, and Bill Cosby.

In this video clip from Expo 67 in Montreal, King reflects on his life with his wife and the universality of his experience.

Wacky Wednesday Comedy Special: Modi at His Best in Montreal

Modi Rosenfeld is one of our favorite young comedians and we've posted many of his stand-up comedy routines and skits. 

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Modi Rosenfeld moved to New York City with his family when he was 7. Before entering comedy, he was a Wall Street international banker. He now goes solely by the name Modi and is known for creating accents and characters.

He has made many appearances at the Just for Laughs festival, an annual summer event in Montreal. In this video clip, Modi tells about his trip on Lufthansa to Munich for a comedy performance, and also reveals the number one way to pick up women.

Modi has a wide range of funny persona. Sometimes he appears as a Chasid in full black dress, other times as a typical Jewish stand-up comic, and others as a non-denominational general comedian. This video shows him without any ethnic attributes. Any way we look at it, we think he's funny.

Comedy Showcase: Elon Gold on Giving Fake Names to Starbucks Baristas

Elon Gold has always been one of our favorite young stand-up comics. A practicing Orthodox Jew who attended Westchester Day School and Yeshiva University High School, he performs for Jewish and for general audiences. His Jewish routines tend to be family-friendly, and his general routines not so.

He performs in comedy clubs and has appeared at the annual Just For Laughs festival in Montreal, Canada. We're sharing a video clip of a recent Just For Laughs appearance. In this clip Elon wonders what it would be like if he walked into a Starbucks coffee shop and, when asked for his name to write on the cup, offered his Hebrew name.

The Best Jewish Bakery in North America May Not be in New York, but in Montreal

When it comes to delicious Jewish baked goods, it's hard to beat the goodies offered up by the bakeries of Montreal, Canada.

Whether its the Montreal style bagel, babka, ruggelach, cheesecake, or black and white cookies, Montrealers and visitors line up at the front doors of Cheskie's Boulangerie, or the competing 24 hour bagel bakeries, Fairmount and Ste. Viateur.

This love letter to the bakeries of Montreal uses video clips from Seinfeld episodes, the Yiddish shtick of the YidLife Crisis guys, and the carb-loving praises of a pair of Montrealers, one covered with tattoos and one with a long beard.

A Joke to Start the Day: "Insurance"

Since 2010, the Yiddish Book Center’s Wexler Oral History Project has recorded hundreds of in-depth video interviews that provide a deeper understanding of the Jewish experience and the legacy and changing nature of Yiddish language and culture. 

The interviews in the growing collection are conducted in Yiddish and/or English with narrators of all ages from a variety of backgrounds. 

Hyman Batalion, Yiddish speaker and Montreal native, was interviewed by Christa Whitney on August 16, 2016, at the Segal Centre for the Performing Arts in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  

 

Last year we posted a clip from the interview, in which Batalion, father of YidLife Crisis co-creator Eli Batalion, reflected on some of the early Yiddish speaking Montreal comedians and retold some of the old jokes.

In this clip from the interview, Batalion tells a joke in Yiddish with English subtitles. Here's the setup: A guy calls an insurance company and asks for insurance. The salesman asks him "How old are you?" And then...

Introducing Frumprov - Montreal's Home for Religious Comedy Tryouts

The center of Montreal's Jewish comedy scene is a comedy club called Frumprov. It's a monthly gathering spot for Kosher, Frum entertainment. A safe space where musicians, comedians, & artists can try new material.

Videos are starting to appear on the Internet with short standup comedy performances by a number of up and coming new Jewish comedians who focus on clean comedy with an emphasis on religious rituals and experiences.

We are monitoring the site, looking for funny episodes that would be seen as funny by the more general Jewish audience. So far we find most of the standup routines too particular for general audiences. But a few have potential. So dear readers, please let us know in your comments what you think about Frumprov.

Here is an example by Levi Goldstein with a set about Meshulachim, sometimes known as schnorrers or fundraisers who won't take no for an answer.

Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: The Always Politically Incorrect Don Rickles in Montreal

In 2014, Don Rickles, the always politically incorrect insult comic, made an appearance at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal.

It was one of his last performances (he died two years later) and he was in rare form, interacting with hilarious dialogue with members of the large audience who were close enough to the stage to receive the volley of insults that Rickles made his specialty.

After a few minutes of banter with the audience including references to his Jewishness and his 49-year marriage, Rickles showed that he could sing by belting out a few verses of Laughter for Love.

The YidLife Crisis Guide to Chanukah - With Jamie and Eli and Rabbi Lisa Grushcow

We've been following and posting videos by Jamie Elman  and Eli Batalion for years, including their expanded version of the old Chinese Yiddish waiter joke two years ago.

Yesterday the Montreal-based comedy team known as The YidLife Crisis released their Chanukah video for this year. It's a tongue-in-cheek conversation with Reform Rabbi Lisa Grushcow of Temple Emanu-el Beth Shalom in Montreal.

Some of the questions are funny, some preposterous, and some even serious. But we think you'll like the answers, and even more, the interaction between the rabbi and YidLife Crisis.

Comedy Showcase: Orny Adams on The Signs You're Getting Old

 

Orny Adams (Adam Jason Orenstein) delivers a powerful, incisive stand-up routine that vacillates between the relevant and the absurd. Orny attacks what’s wrong with the world and sometimes even what’s wrong with Orny. He’s brutally honest, satirical and his performance is ceaselessly energetic.  

 

We first ran into Orny Adams at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal two years ago. Last year we posted a comedy clip of Orny in one of his Showtime specials. Orny has been performing on late night TV shows and other comedy venues, and he's a regular at the Just for Laughs Festival.

Here's an excerpt from one of his recent Just For Laughs Festival performances. In it he busts a texter and then talks about why he's glad he didn't grow up with Facebook and the different things you notice when you get older.

Comedy Showcase: More Hilarious Standup Comedy from Orny Adams

Orny Adams (Adam Jason Orenstein) delivers a powerful, incisive stand-up routine that vacillates between the relevant and the absurd. Orny attacks what’s wrong with the world and sometimes even what’s wrong with Orny. He’s brutally honest, satirical and his performance is ceaselessly energetic.  

 

We first ran into Orny Adams at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal two years ago. Last year we posted a comedy clip of Orny in one of his Showtime specials. Orny has been performing on late night TV shows and other comedy venues, and he's a regular at the Just for Laughs Festival.

Orny has had one hour stand up specials on Netflix, Comedy Central and his third special More Than Loud aired  on Showtime. Orny has appeared all over television, most notably on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman and The Conan O’Brien Show. And you might also recognize him as Coach from the TV show Teen Wolf which ran for six seasons.

In this clip, Orny laces into millennials and contrasts them with the rest of us who grew up with germs, peanuts, and didn't have bottled water. His politically incorrect observations also touch on gender confusion, Twitter, and social media.

YidLife Crisis Presents: "Jews in Cars Getting Babka"

The Montreal-based comedy team of YidLife Crisis (Jamie Elman and Eli Batalion) have outdone Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with their own satire, Jews in Cars Getting Babka.

Filmed under hazardous driving conditions in Montreal's construction challenged Jewish neighborhoods, this satire features Leizer (Eli) racing the clock (and the sun) to drive Chaimie (Jamie) to his parents' house for Shabbat dinner.

After a mandatory stop at Cheskie's bakery for challah and babka, Chaimie gets into Leizer's car, which he has named Hodl, and they shmooze in Yiddish (with English subtitles that are not exact translations) about German and Japanese cars.

Will they get home before Shabbat? Watch the video and find out.

Comedy Showcase: Yakov Smirnoff at Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal

Yakov Smirnoff was born in Odessa, Ukraine in 1951 and brought his comedy to America when he immigrated with his family in 1977. 

Prior to his latest two-year tour, Yakov had spent 20 seasons entertaining audiences in his own 2,000 seat theater in Branson, Missouri, making them come alive with laughter. 

His comparisons with life in Russia and life in America, along with his philosophy and insights about how “Love and Laughter” go hand in hand are funny, interesting, and entertaining.
Smirnoff spent a portion of his early days in the United States working as a busboy and bartender at Grossingers Hotel in the Catskill Mountains of New York and living in the employee dormitory. He only learned that he was Jewish when he was 15 years old.

Here is a video clip from a Smirnoff performance at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal in 1993, where he focuses on marriage and fatherhood.

Comedy Showcase: Modi At Montreal Comedy Festival: A Jew Walks Into Home Depot...

Meet Modi Rosenfeld, professionally known as Modi.  He's not a newcomer to stand-up comedy, nor to acting on TV.  But we at Jewish Humor Central hadn't heard of him until he surfaced in a funny video about two Hassidic screenplay wannabes looking for Spielberg.
 
Modi has performed at Caroline’s on Broadway, The Comedy Cellar, Comic Strip Live and The Gotham Comedy Club. Modi has appeared on HBO’s The Sopranos, The Howard Stern Show, NBC’s Friday Night Videos, BET’s 10th Anniversary of Comic View, METRO Channel’s New Joke City with Robert Klein, and on Comedy Central’s USO Tour Live from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
 
In the video clip below, Modi is on stage at a Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal doing his stand-up routine.  The "Jew walks into Home Depot" bit begins at 5 minutes and 45 seconds into the act.  But it's worth waiting for.

Yiddish Web Comedy Series, YidLife Crisis, Features Food and Coarse Language

Two Montreal comedians, Jamie Elman and Eli Batalion, have created a series of web videos called YidLife Crisis in Yiddish with English subtitles. It's been characterized as comedy, culture, and religion on a plate. While it sometimes pokes fun at religious customs, Elman says that it comes from a place of love.

Elman and Batalion made an appearance last year at the Comedy for a Change Conference in Jerusalem, an event that we reported on a few weeks ago. So far there are 7 videos in their series. Food is a major part of their comedy, especially the ethnic food available in the close-knit Jewish communities of Montreal and New York.

They were recently the subjects of a report on Sunday Bite, a Montreal TV program. Their videos start with a warning: "The following contains adult situations and coarse language. In Yiddish."

We offer the same warning: If you're going to be offended by a few off-color words, then skip this one. Otherwise, enjoy (and laugh)!
