Modi Rosenfeld is Pausing for Laughter
from Metrosource Minis: The LGBTQ World & Beyond Hosted by UBNGO
Modi Rosenfeld is one of those comedians who doesn’t need to try and be funny, he just is. Talking to him is like talking to that cool guy you met at a party, he’s not setting up one-liners, he’s not performing for you, he just is talking about real life through his point of view – and it’s very entertaining. Now, in a career that has taken him from being a Merrill Lynch international banker to a stand-up comedian (with a little Yeshiva University’s Belz School of Music cantoring studies for good measure), he recently premiered and is now touring his debut comedy special, Know Your Audience. And he knows his audience well. His special is a funny, intimate, and sometimes provocative look at his Jewish faith and – gasp! – his homosexuality. Yes, the two can survive together quite successfully in the world that Modi has created for himself. In this episode, we have a lively conversation about his love for his religion and heritage, his journey from banking to comedy, coming into his sexuality, celebrating his relationship, the coexistence of religion and being gay, the power of comedy, the hypocrisy of cancel culture, working with his husband, building bridges between communities, and so much more.
