But a new generation of Jewish comedians is on the rise. And they're very funny. It's a rare one who can get through a routine without off-color words or phrases, but some are trying very hard to let the jokes and situations carry the day without resorting to outright foul language.
Some of the new comedians are only new to us, since we haven't been watching all the late night TV shows and comedy specials where they make their first appearances. But as we discover them, we'll share some of their video clips with you.
Today we're sharing a video clip by Talia Reese. The New York Post recently featured a nearly full-page article about her life and comedy entitled, "Orthodox Jewish Comic Finds Balance Between Raunch and Religion," and called her a "Hot Ticket".
Talia attended law school and worked as a lawyer, is married to a fellow lawyer, and lives in Great Neck, New York. Her standup routines are sometimes risque, but she cleans up her act when she performs at synagogues like this routine at a Young Israel dinner.
Enjoy!

Too much echo, hard to understand.
ReplyDeleteShe may be a good comedienne but showcasing her on a low quality recording does not help. If you cannot produce something that can be easily viewed, please do not bother
ReplyDeleteI was really eager to view the Talia Reese performance today, but the sound was so terrible that I could hardly understand anything she said. Deeply disappointing, but thanks for trying
