with a Jewish theme to Hillels, Jewish Federation Young Adult programs and
JCC cultural arts events audiences across the country.

Monique Madrid works as a stylist in Chicago while pursuing a career in
musical comedy and improvisation.

Opening the evening's comedic festivities are the granddaddies of Cleveland

rapidly aging Cleveland Jews discover there's more to laugh at than their
expanding waistlines and receding hairlines.
