Event WebsiteAbout
This year we’re lucky to have funny man Mark Schiff who tours with Seinfeld and has been a writer and actor on Mad About You, national treasure Cathy Ladman who has been on The Tonight Show a gazillion times and on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Modern Family and Mad Men, Orion Levine who recently moved from Berkeley to LA and was just featured as a New Face at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, and The Geduldig Sisters (Lisa and her 91 year young mom Arline, who will join us by video from Florida).
All in-person attendees will receive Kung Pao swag (a goodie bag) with their ticket: A pair of wooden custom-printed Kung Pao chopsticks, a packet of Yiddish-proverb fortune cookies, and more.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Mark Schiff and Cathy Ladman headline this annual tradition of comedy on Christmas for those who don't celebrate, expanding its audience in the pandemic by hosting weekly virtual comedy shows online and for its 30th anniversary, on YouTube, alongside the live show at The Kung Pao Room at Congregation Sherith Israel. New Asia Restaurant unfortunately was forced to close in the pandemic, hence the new venue. But Kung Pao Kosher Comedy lives on.
