Oy Vey! Jewish Comedy Festival Presents JEWS ON THE ROOF

Headliner Ben Rosenfeld may sound American, but he brings a unique perspective with his comedy about his life growing up with Russian Jewish immigrant parents. His third comedy album, "The United States of Russia" made it to #1 on iTunes, and his book of hysterical and bizarre Russian nursery rhymes, "Russian Optimism" was an Amazon Top 5 best seller. Ben has appeared on FOX's Laughs, CBS This Morning, National Geographic's Brain Games, NPR Weekend Edition, SiriusXM Radio, The New York Post, Rooftop Comedy and been featured as TimeOut New York's Joke of the Week.

This year's host is New York's Michelle Slonim (she's married to Ben so you know no holds-barred) who has appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers and runs her own comedy series of shows in people's living rooms. Michelle apprenticed under comedy great Lewis Black, and brings a matter-of-fact perspective on dating, life, relationships, and of course: life as a Jew.

Simon Rakoff has performed across Canada. A staple of Jewish-Canadian comedy, you might know his quick wit from CBC's The Debaters. He's been performing since 1978 and earned a reputation for his knack for ad-lib genius.
