Comedy Showcase: Indian-Jewish Stand-up Comedian Samson Koletkar in Chinese Restaurant

What better way to show that comedy is ethnically inclusive than to have an Indian Jewish comedian perform in a Chinese restaurant on Christmas day?

That's exactly what Samson Koletkar did in 2013 as a member of the Kung Pao Kosher Comedy cast at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown.

The show has become a San Francisco institution, having just completed its 22nd season and already promoting its shows for a 23rd season in December 2015. 

Koletkar is the world's only Indian Jewish Stand-up Comedian.  Born and raised in Mumbai, and now living in San Francisco, his comedy is a unique perspective on life as an Indian Jew in the West.

We featured two of his stand-up routines in 2010 and 2013.

In this clip from Kung Pao Kosher Comedy, he focuses on disbelief that he is really Jewish and stereotypical reactions to his unusual ethnic background.

Enjoy!
