Modi | Know Your Audience (Full Comedy Special)
54,013
Published 2024-04-19
Having performed for Jewish organizations and causes all over the globe, Modi’s unique vantage point lends a birds-eye view of what it means to be Jewish in today’s day and age. It also allows him to weave a complex identity as both a proud Jew and a gay man - speaking for the first time on stage about his (much younger) husband and the perks of being married to a millennial.
Modi navigates niche subjects within the Jewish world without ever leaving non-Jewish viewers behind…explaining, among other things, why Jews have their own ambulance corps, unsurprising 23&Me results, and the prevalence of ‘hidden’ antisemitism.
Modi’s performance represents a modern interpretation of the Borscht-belt comedians who came before him. Drawing inspiration from Jackie Mason and Alan King, Modi’s larger-than-life stage presence sends a clear message: be true to your audience and the rest will follow.

Me: Rabbi, I think I am ready to complete my conversion. Rabbi: How can this be? You aren’t even done with your Intro to Judaism studies! Me: I watched Modi’s comedy special and understood about 98% of it. Rabbi: We’ll schedule your Mikveh for next week
