‘Laugh Through The Heartbreak’ Comedy Show Cuts Through Dark Times

For the San Diego show, the best-known comedian was Cohen, who performed as himself but also as his alter ego Nofar Levi — a woman who gives unfiltered advice on navigating Israeli life (pro tips: don’t bother to wait in line and don’t be too polite). The character also held an audition to be her husband, while grilling other audience members to see whether or not they’d be granted security clearance to enter Israel. The act was clearly a crowd-pleaser. [Jacob Kamaras]

Satire: The Feds Will Not Replace Us

. Is it coincidence that the cities subjected to military occupations have large minority populations and Democratic mayors in states with Democratic governors? Why not Memphis, Nashville, and Houston whose violent crime rates rank them among the top ten worst American cities? Oh, I forgot, they are in red states that voted for Trump and have Republican governors! [Laurie Baron]
