The groundbreaking Jewish comedy satirist Leah Forster, who boasts a fast-growing social media following over 100,000 strong, stars in her first solo stage show, That’s Yentatainment!, a daring mix of stand-up, song and flashes of digital media.
Something of a genie out of the bottle, Forster started performing stand-up in her Borough Park Hasidic community, where she was only allowed to perform for girls and curious housewives. Her inevitable break with the community came when she came out as a lesbian on social media.
After being shunned by her community, Forster has found unexpected redemption through social media, where her “Tichel Tuesday” videos are much-shared viral sensations.
“This show is my love letter to all the pieces of who I am – the Jewish humor, the Yiddish soul, the modern woman. It’s pure ‘YENTATAINMENT!’
