Benji Lovitt translates his love for Israel and Jewish life into a hilarious and educational stand-up comedy act for all audiences. By deconstructing the details of Israeli culture and the immigrant experience in Israel, Benji’s energy and enthusiasm will make you laugh out loud as you look at daily life in the Middle East in a completely new light.
He was a finalist in WB36’s Late Nite Laff Off in Atlanta and has performed in clubs in America and Israel and for groups such as birthright israel, Hillel, Hadassah, the Israeli Consulate to the Southeast United States, private parties, and more.
In a world where Israel hasbara (advocacy) is crucial, Benji advocates in his own way, putting a smile on your face while shedding light on El Al security, Jewish holidays, and exactly what makes American and Israeli Jews different from each other.
After spending a life-changing year in Israel on Young Judaea Year Course, he graduated from the University of Texas at Austin where he was an active member of the Jewish student community. Five subsequent years in a high-tech career were enough; Benji made the rewarding jump to the Jewish professional world and hasn’t looked back. His experiences working at the Israeli Consulate in Atlanta and Hadassah’s Young Judaea helped convince him to move to Tel Aviv where he has been happily living since 2006.
Benji’s writing has been published in the Jerusalem Post and Israel21c.org and his blog has won several online awards. He has also been featured on 102 FM/Radio Tel Aviv.
