On August 9th/10th, 2006, I did the craziest, boldest, scariest, and most exciting thing I have ever done: move to Israel. Where have the last five years gone? I have been anticipating this day for some time now and I knew I’d have to mark it on my blog (if not also in real life), [...]

Get Taxi App / Joel Chasnoff Comedy Show
Argh. It’s not yet 7 AM and I’m awake. I was also awake before 6 AM which is probably a result of being asleep by 10 PM. If I had milk for my coffee, I might feel differently right now but both makolot (convenience stores) next to my apartment are closed. What fun is it [...]
Come Out and Laugh….If You’re an Adult
Hello, my loyal readers! Are you excited for July 4th, American Independence Day?

Babies Love Slavery
Good morning, everyone-are you enjoying your Pesach? Can you believe here in Israel we’re more than five days into this thing? Two more and it’s chametz time. (Kind of like Hammer Time but with more bread and less booty-shaking.) I spent three nights last week around the country, performing with Charley Warady and Yossi Tarablus at [...]
“Best Year of Your Life”
It’s 8:26 AM: do you know where your chametz is? Mine is quietly minding its own business in the cupboard, doing whatever chametz does when left unattended. I’m slowly coming to terms with Passover starting in only 10 hours, another holiday where I failed to make a video I had brewing in my head. Better [...]
