In the Arena: Jewish Identity in Public Life

August 5 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Featuring comedians Alex Edelman and Liz Glazer

What does it mean to make people laugh right now? Alex Edelman and Liz Glazer happen to be Jewish. While that’s not the entirety of their act, it’s never not true. Both have built careers in the broad American comedy world, and both are grappling with what it means to be visibly Jewish in that space in this particular moment. This conversation explores comedy, identity, and the strange necessity of laughter when the world feels like it’s a lot.

Moderated by: Jacques Berlinblau, author of “Can We Laugh at That? Comedy in a Conflicted Age”

Registration info coming soon.
