Arline Geduldig (will be joining by video recording from Florida), mother of comedian and Kung Pao Kosher Comedy producer, Lisa Geduldig, is a Florida-based budding stand up comedian who took to the (virtual) stage for the first time in July 2020 on her daughter’s monthly Zoom comedy show, Lockdown Comedy; she has been performing and charming audiences on the monthly show ever since.

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 is 92 years young, has always been funny, and it was time for her to share her natural humor with her daughter’s audiences.

Lisa Geduldig is a San Francisco-based comedian and the creator, producer, and MC of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy™ — Jewish Comedy on Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant, which celebrates its 31st year this December (in-person AND virtually). Before the pandemic, Lisa had been running Comedy Returns to El Rio, a monthly decade-long comedy show at El Rio in San Francisco where her comedy career began 30+ years ago.

Since July 2020, she has been producing Lockdown Comedy every 3rd Thursday of the month on Zoom from the underwear drawer in the guest room of her mother’s retirement community home in Florida, where she accidentally got stuck (in Florida, not in the underwear drawer) for 17 months (and became a fan of the Early Bird special) and has been commuting back and forth ever since.

Lisa is also a freelance arts publicist in both English and Spanish. SFPublicist.com
