Modi | Know Your Audience (Full Comedy Special)
213,637
Published 2024-04-19
Having performed for Jewish organizations and causes all over the globe, Modi’s unique vantage point lends a birds-eye view of what it means to be Jewish in today’s day and age. It also allows him to weave a complex identity as both a proud Jew and a gay man - speaking for the first time on stage about his (much younger) husband and the perks of being married to a millennial.
Modi navigates niche subjects within the Jewish world without ever leaving non-Jewish viewers behind…explaining, among other things, why Jews have their own ambulance corps, unsurprising 23&Me results, and the prevalence of ‘hidden’ antisemitism.
Modi’s performance represents a modern interpretation of the Borscht-belt comedians who came before him. Drawing inspiration from Jackie Mason and Alan King, Modi’s larger-than-life stage presence sends a clear message: be true to your audience and the rest will follow.

I told a cousin of mine now on the West Coast after I found and enjoyed Mod's Video so much, to look for this Video. As it turned out Modi and my cousin's son went to school together in N.Y. and were friends. Small world, I am from N.Y., wound up in the goyim south, and found Modi by messing around on the computer, I grew up with his style of humor when we had great comedians. He gave me some good Laughs something hard to find these days, I can relate to Modi and his humor.
