TONIGHT 8:00PM: Frumprov Live #2

In this period of practicing social isolation while trying to clean for Pesach with 15 children bouncing around the house, parents deserve a few hours of free live entertainment to take their minds off the terrifying times we are living in. For the second week in a row, a group of 10 Frum stand up comedians will be offering just that.

(last week’s two and a half hour live comedy show can be watched here: https://youtu.be/bjszVixGPyM).

Tonight starting at 8:00pm EST, comedians from different Frum backgrounds will gather via zoom and livestream their performances and discussions on a Facebook Live hosted by Frumprov. They will also respond live to viewer comments and questions.

To watch and participate, simply follow Frumprov on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FrumProvComedy and you will be notified when they go live.

Headliners are established comedians Yossi Berktin, Eitan Kalmowitz, Jake Turx, and Yisrael Shurack. The event will be hosted by comedian Cholentface.
