Chopshticks December 25, 2010

Help yourself to the gut-busting comedy of Joel Chasnoff at our annual local tradition!

Joel's mix of personal anecdotes and keen observational humor centers on the absurdity of modern American life. His book, "The 188th Crybaby Brigade: A Skinny Jewish Kid from Chicago Fights Hezbollah," is a hilarious and poignant account of his service in the Israel Defense Forces.

Joel has been the opening act for Jon Stewart and Lewis Black of The Daily Show on tour and he recently returned from a USO Comedy Tour of Japan and Korea entertaining American Marines. He's the voice behind numerous cartoon characters and has performed at more than 500 colleges, clubs and Jewish conferences across North America, Israel and Europe.

In addition to Joel's comedy, Chopshticks attendees will enjoy hors d'oeuvres, dessert and a wine bar. Tables accommodate up to 10 people and whole tables can be reserved. This event is a great solution for small companies and families seeking a unique and affordable holiday celebration.

Co-sponsored by Congregation Beth Am, the Haverim Connection for Jewish Singles and Congregation Beth Jacob.
