Introducing ‘Shticks & Giggles’, a new podcast about Jewish comedy from The CJN

What does it mean to be a Jewish comic today?

What does it mean to be a Jewish comic in an era when “Jewish” is no longer synonymous with “stand-up”? Is there still room in Canada for prominent Jewish comedians, or are they all fleeing to the States? How has Jewish comedy changed in an era of changing attitudes towards what’s funny?

To find these answer, comedian Laura Leibow sits down with the world’s best and brightest Jewish comics who were willing to appear on this show in a brand-new comedy interview podcast, Shticks & Giggles.
