Admiring your bubbes, meeting matchmakers, speaking Yiddish to your lovers: this is life as a female Jewish comic. These women put themselves out there for the world, exposing vulnerabilities and frustrations while trying to make audiences laugh along.

For the latest episode of Shticks & Giggles, The CJN’s podcast about Jews and comedy, comedian Laura Leibow sat down with fellow Canadian funnywomen Natalie Norman and Rachel Manson to chat about Judaism, feminism, getting Botox and breaking through the male-dominated stereotypes of Jewish stand-ups.
