Standard Comedy Night
65-110 minutes of stand-up comedy. No need for an opening act. Can be arranged in a variety of ways, either with straight advance sale/at the door ticket prices, or with reserved seats, sponsors, benefactors pre-show receptions, raffle drawings, etc. In most cities, the secular paper will definitely do a feature article with photo, as will the Jewish paper. A unique, spirit-raising, community-building event.2
Scholar-in-Residence Weekend
Includes comedy night plus one or two Shabbat programs
- Presentation based on the deeply inspirational, partly humorous Life Doesn't Get Any Better Than This: The Holiness of Little Daily Dramas, which the Detroit Free Press called 'a volume of spiritual gems' in a four-star review.

- Sermon 'The Spirituality of Laughter'.
