5th annual

Q: What's Moo Jew Comedy?
A: Jewish comedians
  performing at Christmas time
  at a Chinese Restaurant.

Has a new Jewish Christmas-time tradition taken hold? Any respectable Jew would clearly answer, "And why not?"

Ancient Hebrew texts and any Rabbi worth his or her salt will confirm that Jews have congregated for centuries at Chinese restaurants on Christmas Eve. Moo Jew Comedy thus provides comedy in Jews' natural habitat. "Why should anyone have to schlep to a comedy show, when we can bring it right to them?" shrugged the show's producer, Jason P. Lorber.

Non-Jews are welcome to Moo Jew Comedy, especially loud ones. Worried that some non-Jewish audience members might miss a joke or two, Lorber has a plan, "We'll have Jewish interpreters who will shrug after each joke and say, 'You should have come last year.'"

Come to the fifth annual Moo Jew Comedy. It's what Jews do at Christmas time.

Linda Belt, as a full-time comic, performs in the U.S. and internationally, including Royal Caribbean Cruiselines, starring in “Broads of Broadway,” and performing in Manhattan, Toronto, Halifax, Atlantic City, and comedy festivals all over.

Josie Leavitt honed her comedy in Manhattan, before founding the Vermont Comedy Divas. She performs throughout New England, and teaches two Flynn Arts comedy classes – Laugh Attack and How to be Funny (Even if You’re Not!).

Ahamed Weinburg often jokes about being half-Muslim and half-Jewish. The 21-year-old has been winning laughs from audiences at comedy festivals at Higher Ground, Green Mountain Comedy Festival, and elsewhere.

Jason P. Lorber host and founder of Moo Jew Comedy, has performed on TV, on national cable radio (Sirius), and dozens of films and stage performances. He also runs a monthly story SLAM called Reality Fix.
