"Is it hot in here, or am I the only one dressed for Poland in the 17th Century?" jokes Yisrael Campbell, Israel's funniest Hasidic comedian. Campbell started out as Chris Campbell, son of an ex-nun and a Catholic teacher in Philadelphia. Three conversations later (Reform to Conservative then Orthodox), he discovered his Jewish soul in stand-up comedy.

Generously underwritten by Class Action LLC/Marc Frankel-Constable.
