Comedy for Peace
Thursday, October 19, 2023 | 7:00-9:00pm
Join us for an extraordinary night of comedy and laughter featuring a stellar lineup of comedians. Experience the wit and humor of a diverse range of performers: from one of the most promising up-and-coming comedians, who uniquely embodies Black, Persian, Jewish, and Muslim identities – Tehran Von Ghasri, to the only Orthodox Jewish woman comedian who brings her own distinct perspective, Carmiya Weinraub. Not to be missed are the performances by Gibran Saleem, a Muslim American, raised in a Pakistani household in Virginia and Erik Angel, an Israeli Jew and the creator of Comedy for Peace. Join in the laughter, and leave with the realization that we share much more in common than meets the eye! Comedy for Peace is an offering of the Jonathan Samen Hot Buttons, Cool Conversations Discussion Series. For questions, email boxoffice@jccgb.org or call 617-558-6488.

What is Hot Buttons, Cool Conversations?
If you enjoy a lively exchange of ideas on today’s hot button topics, the JCC’s acclaimed discussion series is for you.
We bring together distinguished scholars, thought leaders and expert moderators for thought-provoking dialogue on issues of concern to the Jewish community and beyond. The series is named in honor of Jonathan Samen, z”l (of blessed memory), past chair of the JCC Greater Boston Governing Board, to recognize his legacy of leadership.
All JCC arts and humanities offerings are programs of the Ryna Greenbaum JCC Center for the Arts. As a 501(c)(3), JCC Greater Boston does not endorse or oppose candidates for public office or political parties.
