Comedy Showcase: Avi Hoffman's "Too Jewish, Too! - Welcome To The Catskills"

At age 10 Avi Hoffman (born Avrum Ber, in 1958) made his theatrical debut in a Yiddish Folksbiene Theater production called Bronx Express. In the decades that followed, the performer, a son of Holocaust survivors, has appeared in a wide range of theatrical endeavors, both in New York City and regionally.

Avi is the CEO of the Yiddishkayt Initiative, a not-for-profit organization that celebrates and promotes Jewish history, life, and culture and their positive and far-reaching impact on the world. From performing arts, publishing, and education to language, philosophy, and literature, YI offers a global clearinghouse of Jewish culture and entertainment. 

Avi is known for his shows, Too Jewish and Too Jewish Too. Today we're sharing Welcome to the Catskills, an excerpt from Avi's second show Too Jewish, Too. Enjoy!
