About Judah Friedlander
Judah Friedlander 2019 Tour: Future President (All New Material)
Hilarious, profound satire with endless one liners & seamless crowd work. Judah Friedlander is a singular performer. His Future President stand-up show is American satire at its most creative, incisive, and funny. You have not seen a show like this before. Judah satirizes American Exceptionalism, the systemic power structures that control America, and how America deals with all of its human rights issues. Judah finds and creates comedy from places you never knew it existed.
In Judah’s uproariously engaging and unpredictable show, he will tell you why he should be the future President of the United States, and will invite you to ask him questions about his Presidential platform. With Judah’s amazing and unique crowd work, no two shows are the same.
Last year, Judah Friedlander’s critically acclaimed 84 minute stand-up performance film America Is the Greatest Country In the United States (Netflix, 2017) was named best comedy special of the year by many critics, comics, and fans. This year in 2019, Judah is on tour with all new material.
Come see the Future President of the United States.
