Rabbi Bob Alper is the world's only practicing clergyman doing stand-up comedy... intentionally. His fresh, contemporary, and totally "unorthodox" style has been delighting audiences for over 30 years, from Hollywood's IMPROV to The Montreal Comedy Festival. And his unique brand of intelligent, 100% clean humor appeals to people of all faiths. Bob's a special favorite on the clean comedy channel of Sirius/XM radio, and he's appeared on Showtime, CNN, and Good Morning America. The New York Times put it succinctly: Bob “…had the audience convulsing.” From Hollywood's IMPROV to The Montreal Comedy Festival to Toronto’s Muslimfest, Bob’s unique brand of humor has a universal appeal. He is particularly proud of The Laugh in Peace Tour, over 200 shows with his Muslim and Christian stand up pals, frequently on college campuses with interreligious co-sponsorship. 
Sammy Obeid is Lebanese-Palestinian-American and born in Oakland California. He double majored in Business and Mathematics at UC Berkeley and then turned down a job at Google to be a comedian. He is now the host of 100 Humans on Netflix. He has also appeared on NBC's Last Comic Standing and America's Got Talent, as well as TBS’s Conan, and is best known for his world record of performing comedy 1,001 nights in a row, a story featured in both Time Magazine and The New York Times. He was recently voted "Fastest Rising Star” by Campus Activities Magazine and has since performed at hundreds of colleges across the US. 
Arline Geduldig, mother of San Francisco comedian Lisa Geduldig, is a Florida-based budding stand up comedian who took to the (virtual) stage for the first time in July on her daughter’s Zoom comedy show, Lockdown Comedy. Arline grew up in Brooklyn, raised her kids on Long Island, and retired to Florida, as is Jewish law. She offers her keen observations on aging, hearing aids, and hot young firemen and reminisces about her first kiss. Arline, who just turned 90 years young, has always been funny, and it was time for her to take the stage.
Lisa Geduldig is a San Francisco-based comedian and comedy producer who is most known for her annual comedy tradition Kung Pao Kosher Comedy™ — Jewish comedy on Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant, which celebrated its 28th year in December (albeit this year in Cyberspace). Before the pandemic, Lisa had been running a monthly decade-long comedy show at El Rio in San Francisco where her comedy career began 30 years ago. Lisa also does freelance arts PR in both English and Spanish…again when there’s not a pandemic. Media Coverage:
