"Honestly, I’ve spent most of my life running away from being Jewish. I read Richard Dawkins. I watch Bill Maher. I date Catholic girls. I listen to rock ’n roll. Who needs the Torah when you’ve got Tom Petty?"
I wrote an essay for Paste Magazine about how comedy/NYC/life has made me feel more Jewish.

I interviewed Michael Shafar, a stand-up comedian in Australia, who performed his show, 'Jewish-ish' at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year. You might like Michael's whole take on being Jewish and comedy, given this blog title:
