COMEDY NIGHT AT B'NAI SHALOM OF OLNEY

B'nai Shalom presents Joel Chasnoff, Saturday, January 19th at 8:00pm . Featuring a dessert reception. Admission $35/adult and $18/teen. [More Info]
Joel Chasnoff has taken the stage in seven countries around the globe at some of the world’s premier comedy venues, Jewish and corporate events across North America and Europe and hundreds of college and club dates nationwide. On tour, Joel has opened for such top-name acts as Jon Stewart and Lewis Black of The Daily Show and Gilbert Gottfried.

Joel Chasnoff brings creativity and imagination to comedy and an innovative look at Jewish life. Joel’s comedy is based on real Judaism and Jewish experiences – such experiences as his nine years in Jewish Day School, his service in the Israel Defense Forces, and your family’s Shabbat dinner. Unlike many Jewish comics, stereotypes play no role in Joel’s act. Instead, Joel finds humor in the intricacies and details of Judaism and Jewish life. Check him out at www.joelchasnoff.com
