Christmas Eve For The Jews

City Winery NYC presents Christmas Eve For The Jews with Joel Chasnoff on Thursday, December 24th, at 7:30 PM! Attention all Jews! Looking for something fun to do on Christmas Eve that has nothing to do with Christmas? Join comedian Joel Chasnoff for the 15th annual Christmas Eve for the Jews at City Winery — a night of stand-up comedy just for us, featuring Moody McCarthy (Late Night with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live), Ophira Eisenberg (Comedy Central, HBO), Eli Lebowicz, and crowd favorite Brian Gelfand on piano. So ditch the Chinese food and the movie. Come celebrate the night with great comedy, great food and wine, and the joy of laughing together with our people. Joel Chasnoff is a standup comedian, author, and the guy who helps American Jews make sense of Israel. He’s the author of The 188th Crybaby Brigade (Simon & Schuster) and co-author of the National Jewish Book Award-winning Israel 201, host of the Inside Israel podcast, and a former lone soldier in the IDF. Every Christmas Eve for the past 15 years, he’s brought a room full of Jews together to celebrate the holiday they’re not celebrating. More on Joel at www.joelchasnoff.com.

Her memoir Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy has been optioned for TV. More about Ophira at www.ophiraeisenberg.com. Moody McCarthy has been performing standup since 1992 — and just learned there’s no pension. He’s appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, and the Late Show with David Letterman (twice!), and can be heard on SiriusXM. His material is original, smart, and universally relatable, with a disarming stage presence that’s earned him serious respect from his peers. More about Moody at www.moodymccarthy.com.
