If you’re looking for a Jewish comedian for a private event, fundraiser, synagogue program, sisterhood gathering, Jewish Federation event, or community celebration, I bring something a little different to the stage: I’m a Southern Jewish comedian raised in Birmingham, Alabama, where Friday night dinners and SEC football lived comfortably side by side.
Growing up Jewish in the Deep South shaped my voice. I learned early how to translate between worlds…Southern manners and Jewish humor, brisket and barbecue, “bless your heart” and “you call this kugel?” That perspective now fuels my stand-up. My comedy is smart, relatable, and rooted in family, identity, motherhood, and the beautifully absurd experience of being Jewish below the Mason-Dixon line.
I’m a stand-up comedian, live show producer, and co-host of the award-winning Sis & Tell Podcast. I’ve headlined and produced shows across the country, performed for Jewish community audiences and am available for synagogue events, federation programs, women’s groups, cultural weekends, and private celebrations.
