Past Press | Contact Us Kung Pao Kosher Comedy was created
in 1993 by accident by San Francisco comedian
Lisa Geduldig, who went to perform in South Hadley,
Massachusetts at what she thought was going
to
be a comedy club. Peking Garden Club turned out
to be a Chinese Restaurant. After telling Jewish
jokes at a Chinese restaurant, a conversation
between Lisa and her old summer camp friend,
Tobi
Sovak, led to the creation of Kung Pao
Kosher Comedy.
Now in its 16th year, the event
started out as a community service for all Jews
who have ever been stuck on Christmas with nothing
to do but hide under the covers, contemplate
midnight
Mass, or visit a Chinese restaurant... The audience
has expanded to include Chinese-Jewish couples,
interfaith ones, singles, families, gay people,
straight people, undecided ones, those who are
far from home, and just generally people who
like smart comedy mixed with Chinese food.
Kung Pao also produces other comedy events including
Funny Girlz; Feygelah Schmeygelah; Make Laugh,
Not War; Tom-A-Palooza; Queer Comedy Quack Up;
and The George Bush Going Away Party: An Evening
of Political Comedy.
In 2005, Kung Pao was proud to bring the sold-out show "Charo and her Las
Vegas Show" to San Francisco audiences and is thrilled to be bringing Charo
back again on June 29, 2008!
