It’s good to laugh. So good, in fact, that the Jew-ish Comedy Night at JW3 in aid of Beit Halochem sold out in minutes and a second date was added. Social media star Zach Margs compered a group of five Jewish comedians, giving us plenty of his own shtick before, after and indeed in between their individual 12-minute acts and for almost two hours the sound of laughter could be heard reverberating around the room.
Zach began the evening with a string of amusing tales – ranging from the one about the Chabad rebbe who died on the day he was born which makes him think he has Moshiach powers, the Pret employee who became more Jewish as his interactions with Zach pursued and the strategy of encouraging negative comments on his videos to drive engagement which has resulted in his father commenting ‘Free Palestine’ on all his posts (it’s a joke).
