David Kilimnick
Finalist of the Laugh Factory's 'Funniest Person in the World' Comedy Competition, David was the first to represent Israel in the finals of international comedy competition. David did not compete on Shabbat and still, people do not feel his story is worthy enough to mention when discussing Sandy Koufax not playing in the World Series on Yom Kippur.
David Kilimnick, dubbed Israel's "father of Anglo comedy" by the Jerusalem Post, is leading the new pack speaking stand-up comics in Israel . At his Off the Wall Comedy Theater in Jerusalem (the first of its kind), Kilimnick has been offering up penetrating observations of life in his turbulent adopted country.
Tourists and native Israelis alike have been flocking to his cozy, intimate club and raving about his unique ability to transform the daily chaos and aggravation of Israeli life into an evening full of laughter. Kilimnick's material covers the rocky transition from his "New York Cocoon" to his new life as an "Oleh Chadash" or Israeli newcomer. Still single, Kilimnick touches on his religious upbringing, his father a rabbi, the injustices of Jewish grammar school and Jewish summer camp, and the looks he gets from his Jewish mother because he isn't married yet. Meanwhile, Kilimnick's universal humor takes you on a tour of funny through the Holy Land.
Incorporating routines from his shows 'I Am Israeli,' 'The Honest Rabbi,' 'Defending Israel,' 'The Aliyah Monologues Classic 1 & 2,' 'Find Me A Wife,' 'Frum From Birth: Religious Manifesto' & more, David Kilimnick justifies his Aliyah (move to Israel), while taking you through the reality of life as a single immigrant, Israel experiences, holidays & family left behind. You are sure to walk away entertained, enlightened, or with David.
David is also a regular volunteer, performing for Israeli soldiers, people suffering from illness and distressed teens.
Starring in films, 'Make Me a Match' and 'Single Jewish Male, 'David has appeared on Beep, Israel's comedy network, and has been hailed by the tough Israeli media as a 'rising star' who possesses 'Seinfeldian charm' when he takes to the stage.
You can now see David in his new show 'The Honest Rabbi,' or 'I am Israeli,' from The Aliyah Monologues series, where you will be educated on Jewish life and how to be Israeli while David offers his platform for change in the Holy Land. David brings the rabbinical mind to the stage as he expresses his irreverence for what is wrong.
