Jokes to Start the Week and Announcing The Jewish Week's Funniest Jewish Comedian Contest

Every year The Jewish Week, New York's  Jewish newspaper, sponsors a contest over a four week period to find the funniest Jewish comic of the year.

This year, the stand-up comedy shows will take place at the Broadway Comedy Club in New York City. Preliminary contest rounds will be on June 5th, 15th, and 19th, with finals being held on Sunday, June 26.

If you like telling jokes and would like to tell them to a New York audience with a chance to win paid spots at the Broadway Comedy Club, cash and/or prizes, just contact Geoff Kole by email or phone. Contact information is on the flyer at the left of this page.

To get in the mood for four evenings of stand-up Jewish comedy, we're sharing a  video clip of one of the rounds in last year's competition.

In this clip, stand-up comedian Adam Gabel shares funny observations about his family.

So mark your calendars for four nights of fun in New York City and enjoy!
