He appears at The Laugh Factory, The Stand, The Comic Strip, and many other comedy venues all over the US. He tours Europe regularly, has opened for major headliners and has performed in Tokyo and Israel. He has been seen on CBS and have more than 2M views on Tik-Tok. His comedy is very surprising, clever, high energy, deals with being a recent immigrant, fortyish, a newlywed, that he's Jewish, and speaks English.
In this comedy set, he explains how Israel is a culture of shouting.
Enjoy!
But
a new generation of Jewish comedians is on the rise. And they're very
funny. It's a rare one who can get through a routine without off-color
words or phrases, but some are trying very hard to let the jokes and
situations carry the day without resorting to outright foul language.
Today we're sharing a video clip by Erik Angel, a stage name for an Israeli comic who has been living in the U.S. for five years.
As Marc Gronich wrote in The Jewish Link this week,
Angel’s real name is Dotan Malach. He was born in Petah Tikvah, located in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. He released two music albums and was a journalist for many years before turning to comedy. He has been living in the United States for five years and resides near the comedy club with his wife.
“I love to collaborate,” Angel said. “I was a theater actor in Israel. I do improvisational comedy usually. I think I’m a very angry, energetic, edgy Jew trying to express myself in a second language. I’m not a mean comedian. I also don’t pick on people in the audience too much because it could be very threatening for the person in the audience. I’m sensitive about that. I work clean. I’m not a vulgar comedian. I do a lot of Jewish and Jewish-Muslim rooms.”
Enjoy!
