Jewish Comedy Is Having a Moment—and Bad Shabbos Proves It

Jewish comedy is experiencing a renaissance, with the film Bad Shabbos exemplifying this trend.

Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, the dark comedy, directed by Daniel Robbins and co-written with Zack Weiner, transforms a traditional Shabbat dinner into a chaotic narrative filled with death, deceit, and dysfunction.

Featuring an ensemble cast including Method Man, the film balances reverence for Jewish traditions with a rebellious spirit, offering a self-aware and heartfelt portrayal of modern Jewish life.

This evolution in Jewish humour reflects a new generation's identity and relationship with tradition.
