My mother told my ex-girlfriend’s best friend’s daughter’s roommate that you should SCROLL DOWN for MORE INFO about other Humor Fest events!

Come together to celebrate queer Jewish joy! Yenta! Live will feature Raye Schiller and Antonia Lassar as they make you laugh and cry and remember that you should call your mother. Slay. Oy Vey. This will be the first ever live recorded podcast episode of Yenta! and we will read your secrets submitted anonymously before the show! All are welcome.

Arrive early to anonymously submit your secrets, and stick around for schmoozing and nosh with the comedians!

Raye Schiller is a queer, formerly-Orthodox Jewish comedian and writer from New York, based in Los Angeles.
