Featured on HBO, CBS, NBC, ABC, Comedy Central, Howard Stern, and E! Entertainment, Modi has received rave reviews in The New York Times, Time Out NY, and The New York Post. 

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Modi emigrated with his family to the United States at the age of seven and was raised on Long Island. 

After graduating from Boston University, he worked as an investment banker until his first open-mic night made him realize that stand-up was his true calling. Equipped with a sharp wit and a knack for reading an audience, Modi has gone on to become a successful fixture in New York's vibrant comedy scene, often doing bits that incorporate his heritage, and he is a hit with diverse Jewish audiences as well as fans of all backgrounds and beliefs. 

Here's Modi with an excerpt from one of his standup shows where he makes fun of the Hamptons and Westhampton.

The Hamptons are a popular summer destination for wealthy New Yorkers and celebrities. The area is known for its scenic beauty, historic charm, and luxury lifestyle. The Hamptons are made up of the towns of Southampton and East Hampton, and include many villages and hamlets. 

Some say the Hamptons are a haven for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of New York City. The area has a variety of restaurants, from casual to fine dining, and some restaurants transform into nightclubs with parties that can last into the morning. The Hamptons are also home to a notable art scene with fine art museums. 

 

Westhampton has a large Jewish population.
