All material on this tour has never been featured before on any stand-up special or album.
Judah Friedlander’s stand-up comedy is super funny. It is satire at its most creative, incisive, rebellious, and hilarious - but never preachy.
It hilariously & profoundly satirizes the propaganda of American exceptionalism, empire, imperialism, and oppression - through one liner jokes and crowd work in a style all his own. He also does the same on a global scale, not limiting his critique to the USA. Judah also does material and crowd work that is aburdist comedy escapism - not necessarily of any political bend.
His 84 minute stand-up comedy performance film from 2017, which he independently produced, directed, edited, wrote, and performed: “America Is the Greatest Country In the United States”, got rave reviews. This 2017 stand-up performance film continues to hold up well today & even back then in 2017 exposed Israel’s settler colonialism & illegal occupation of Palestine.
Judah finds and creates comedy from dark places most people would not think to consider looking into, and with his amazing and unique crowd work, no two shows are the same. Judah Friedlander is a unique & versatile performer & has won awards and accolades as both a comedic actor & dramatic actor. He has been in hundreds of television shows and over 40 feature films. For acting roles, he has often done deep character work, changing his appearance & voice so much that he is unrecognizable - as he did in “American Splendor” for which he was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor. Judah is also well-known for playing the dirtbag weirdo with a heart of gold “Frank” for all 7 seasons on the multiple Emmy-winning TV comedy “30 Rock”.
Judah has authored two books: the riduclously funny instructional karate book “How To Beat Up Anybody”, and the absurd & satirical “If the Raindrops United”, a collection of his drawings & cartoons.
Judah is touring with all new material that has not been released before on any album or special. He will be releasing more stand-up comedy performance films soon.
