On Wednesday, November 29, at 7:00pm at the Konover Auditorium in the Dodd Research Center, students attending Jewish Humor classes this fall at UConn and at the University of Hartford will be performing their own stand-up routines at a Jewish Humor Open Mic Night sponsored by the Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Hartford and the Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life at UConn. Have your own comedy act to share? Contact Professor Avi Patt (patt@hartford.edu) to put your name on the list of the evening's performers!

Facilitating the event will be comedian Vicky Kuperman who was named “one of 12 new comedians to watch” by the Huffington Post. Vicky has been featured on The Maxim Comedy Showcase, on NickMom TV, Sirius Satellite Radio & Comcast, and was presented by comedy legend David Brenner on several shows as part of his tour “David Brenner Presents: Comedy Stars of Tomorrow.”
