Modi | Know Your Audience (Full Comedy Special)

Publicado 2024-04-19
There are comedians who happen to be Jewish, and then there are Jewish comedians. In his debut special, Modi solidifies himself as the former; wielding his unique blend of observational comedy and hilarious insights to shine a light on an often-insular community in "Know Your Audience".

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
  • Not Jewish but understood you perfectly. Love you all! Not everyone is full of hate. Hate makes no sense.
  • @lindalamb5366
    I’m not Jewish and I’ve never heard a full set of Jewish comedy in my life. Did not know it existed but I found this extremely interesting and listen to the whole thing and was Entertained enough to actually leave a comment which I never do….
  • @bobberndt9744
    I didn't understand about 10% of this, but he did his best to include 'us'. Worth sticking around for the whole special. 😀

    I told a cousin of mine now on the West Coast after I found and enjoyed Mod's Video so much, to look for this Video. As it turned out Modi and my cousin's son went to school together in N.Y. and were friends. Small world, I am from N.Y., wound up in the goyim south, and found Modi by messing around on the computer, I grew up with his style of humor when we had great comedians. He gave me some good Laughs something hard to find these days, I can relate to Modi and his humor.
