Jewish Coffee House Comedy Podcast

Tom Cotter is one of the most popular stand-up comics in the United States, having appeared on The Tonight Show, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and Last Comic Standing, as well as his own special on Comedy Central. He may be best known as the runner up in the seventh season of America's Got Talent, when he lost to a dog act (which he references - repeatedly - in his comedy). He came to Jerusalem on the Comedy for Koby tour (www.kobymandell.org); here are some of the highlights of his performance, interspersed with an interview conducted by Molly Livingstone.

The Impeach Donald Trump Singers present their first big hit, "Impeach Donald Trump!" - a subtle political commentary whose subtlety is indicated by the title of the track as well as by the name of the band. If you agree with the sentiment expressed - good. And if you don't - remember that this is a comedy podcast, not a political argument. Happy Purim!

Elayne Boosler is a legend in the comedy world. The first woman to host her own one hour special on Showtime, she is a comedian, actress, singer, and dancer who has appeared on shows such as The Cosby Show, Night Court, Dear John, and many others (including 32 appearances on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect). She even cowrote Andy Kaufman's final special with him a year before his death. Molly Livingstone caught up with Elayne after her recent performance in Jerusalem as part of the Comedy for Koby tour.
