There are comedians who happen to be Jewish, and then there are Jewish comedians. In his YouTube special, Know Your Audience, Modi
solidifies himself as the former; wielding his unique blend of
observational comedy and hilarious insights to shine a light on an
often-insular community.
Having performed for Jewish organizations and causes all over the globe, Modi’s unique vantage point lends a birds-eye view of what it means to be Jewish in today’s day and age.
Modi’s
performance represents a modern interpretation of the Borscht-belt
comedians who came before him. Drawing inspiration from Jackie Mason and
Alan King, Modi’s larger-than-life stage presence sends a clear
message: be true to your audience and the rest will follow.
In this video clip from Know Your Audience,
Modi tells us how he enjoys television programs about Gentiles, especially The Crown.
Enjoy!
