Wednesday June 1st
Show: Judah Friedlander at Union Hall
Venue: Union Hall
Location: 702 Union Street, Brooklyn NY
Time: Doors 7:30PM, show 8PM sharp
Description of Show and Lineup: Stand-up comedy has been Judah’s main thing since he first started in 1989. His onstage persona of The World Champion has taken on different shades over the years. It was initially a satire on narcissism & braggarts. Then the persona morphed into being a real life superhero (who is actually humble) subliminally getting audiences to question why we have heroes. For the past several years & currently, Judah’s act has been predominantly satirizing American exceptionalism as well U.S. domestic and foreign policy. The World Champion is a champion of the world – who stands up for earth’s rights and the people, animals, and plants of the planet. If America does the right thing, Judah will be the next president of the United States. Judah has a stand-up special & album coming out soon.
