"This is not a Christmas show. This isn't even a holiday show. This is a Chanukah show," promise the organizers of the Seventh Annual Chanukahstravaganza: Still Spinning After All These Years. (Though people of all faiths are welcome!)
Held at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective on Saturday, December 9, hosts Lana Schwartz (The New Yorker, McSweeney's) and Ilana Michelle Rubin (MTV, Reductress) welcome onstage some of their funniest Jewish friends in New York City, including Brandon Follick, Blair Dawson, Anna Roisman and Josh Gondelman, to celebrate the Miracle of Lights with songs, live comedy and gelt. (“Lots of gelt. Tons of it,” they promise.)
All proceeds from the show go to the Holocaust Survivor Initiative, which helps older adults with a history of trauma receive the care they need.
