If you thought getting circumcised once was rough, trying converting to Judaism three times… OUCH!  Comedian Yisrael Campbell knows the pain and the humor of moving from Catholicism, to Reform, Conservative, and then Orthodox Judaism.  After a much talked about documentary and a successful run off-Broadway, Yisrael Campbell is taking his show on the road, and on April 7th at 7:30pm he’ll be performing live at the St. Paul JCC.
Comedy Central talk show host Stephen Colbert has seen the show, enjoyed it and is quoted saying “Yisrael Campbell is the funniest Roman Catholic Orthodox Jewish comedian in the world, Hurry and see him before he turns Buddhist.”

Other praise:
From the NY Post: “A pitch-perfect blend of genuine sentiment and hilarious one-liners.”
From the NY Times: “Plenty of Laughs. Genial and polished tale well told.”
From Huffington Post: “Fun but ephemeral” with “genuinely comic moments and wacky observations about the nature of Jewish life.”
