A Jewish comedian, a Muslim comedian and a Christian comedian enter a Zoom room. That’s the setup for a Covid-era joke, but it’s actually happening tonight, when the JCC of Sonoma County presents a cross-cultural stand-up event called “Comedy for Peace” at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here.
“Comedy for Peace” is the brainchild of Dotan Malach, an Israeli comedian now living in New York who performs under the stage name Erik Angel. (Malach is Hebrew for “angel.”) For tonight’s virtual show, Malach has assembled an eclectic group of Jewish and Arab comedians, including Reem Edan, an Iraqi-American Muslim; Maher Matta, a Lebanese-American Christian living in Virginia; and New York-based Jewish comedians Michelle Slonim and Steve Marshall.
