Joel Chasnoff Live

Joel has performed comedy at more than 1,500 Jewish events in ten countries, including the Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia, Montreal’s Just-For-Laughs, two off-Broadway shows, and TV appearances in the US and Israel.

Joel is the author of multiple best-selling books. His newest, Israel 201: Your Next-Level Guide to the Magic, Mystery, and Chaos of Life in the Holy Land, is an up-close look at daily life in Israel, behind the headlines. The book has received praise from such notable Jewish-world voices as Mayim Bialik, Yossi Klein Halevi, and former prime minister Ehud Barak.

A Chicago native, Joel moved to Israel after college to serve in the Israeli army, an experience he chronicles in his first book, The 188th Crybaby Brigade. Joel currently lives in Ra’anana, Israel, with his wife and four kids.

As Joel puts it: “For me, comedy is all about connection. When we laugh together, we are together!”
