Judah Friedlander Will Guest on Ron Bennington’s Unmasked in NYC

Comedian, actor, author, illustrator, and World Champion Judah Friedlander will join Ron Bennington to tape the next episode of Bennington’s epic series, Unmasked. Friedlander will be talking about his upcoming Netflix special, his career, and comedy during the hour. Unmasked is a series of uncensored conversations with the world’s greatest comedic voices, and is taped before a live studio audience. The episode will be taped at The Stand comedy club in New York City on Monday, October 23, 2017, at 8pm and you can be there for the taping!

Judah is one of our favorite comedians. He’s brilliant, he’s hilarious and he’s one of the most unique and original comedians performing today. He’s also the World Champion. His new comedy special, titled Judah Friedlander: America is the Greatest Country in the United States debuts on Netflix on October 31, 2017 just in time for Halloween.  Judah recorded the new 84 minute special – which he also directed- in black & white at The New York Comedy Cellar, using a very simple low budget documentary style that is perfect for the material. It is raw, it is intimate, and it’s incredibly smart. Over the course of the special, Judah takes on the topics of “American exceptionalism” as well as racism, climate change, fascism, gun control, sexism, immigration and health care. He also might announce his candidacy to be the next President of the United States.
