"Comedy for Peace is a great experience and meaningful way to bring together the community. It’s so important to bring together people around shared laughs especially at times that can seem scary and divisive."
Rebecca Zimilover, UJA NY
The University of Michigan-Dearborn brought Comedy for Peace to our campus and it was wonderful! The diversity of the comedians was appreciated and their performances were hilarious! After the show, our students wouldn’t leave as they were so engaged with the performers because they were so relatable! This show is a must see! Bring them to your campus! Thank you Comedy for Peace for your Global Impact!!!

Comedy for Peace performed at a sold-out show at the JCC in Central New Jersey and they did not disappoint! The laughter was loud and long lasting. The comedians weaved inclusive humor that resonated with everyone from 50 – 90 years of age. Their interactive elements added a unique charm, engaging the audience throughout. Furthermore, the clean comedy showcased the comedian’s wit without compromising on entertainment. The performers beautifully embraced cultural diversity and our differences, turning them into sources of humor that left the audience thinking we all have more in common than we think. It was an evening of ‘chicken soup for the soul’ during a time when it is badly needed. Kudos to the whole team at Comedy for Peace and thank you for making us laugh

We had Comedy for Peace on campus for a weekday event. We had such a great turnout and everyone, including our Franciscan Friars, absolutely loved the show! All of the comedians brought such positivity and light to our campus and we appreciate all that they did. It was truly a perfect event for our diverse community, and we hope to have them on campus again! Thank you for all the laughs.

On behalf of my colleagues at the Argosy Foundation, I would like to extend heartfelt appreciation, for the outstanding performance of Comedy for Peace held in Burlington, Vermont on April 12. I commend the professionalism of the entire Comedy for Peace team, and I wholeheartedly recommend that any organization that is looking to encourage respect of other religions and cultures, by humorously exposing and gently ridiculing existing stereotypes, consider enlightening their audiences with this no-politics-just-comedy approach.
Shirley Hamilton, Program Officer, Argosy foundation
We need to laugh. We need to bring the community together, and CFP is just the show and team of comedians to do just that. They meet the moment with their collaborative, thoughtful, and funny content. The bonus is their willingness to sit down and talk with your audience in a Q&A session. The questions are unique to your audience and community, and they are answered with beautiful integrity and inspiring insights.
Dotan Malach is a tremendous planning partner. Every time I reached out, he responded immediately and graciously. From joining our community podcast and interviewing with the community newspaper to assisting with marketing and production needs, he has been indispensable. Working with CFP is easy, seamless, and fun—they are true pros, from show content to backend planning! I cannot recommend them more highly!

Hosting the Comedy For Peace event was an extraordinary experience for our community. One of the most powerful aspects of this event was its ability to unite individuals from different communities. By hosting the show at a local comedy club, we created a neutral, welcoming space that encouraged people from outside our community to join us.
In fact, the connections we formed during Comedy For Peace have already begun to bear fruit. We recently had an incredibly meaningful meeting with a mosque just down the street from our JCC—a meeting that was made possible by the relationships we started building that evening. The shared laughter from the event created an immediate bond, and we are excited about the lasting friendships that will continue to grow from this.
For us, it was truly therapeutic to come together in a shared experience of joy and humor. Comedy For Peace has truly made a lasting impact on our community, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.

Our students and staff had a great night of fun with Comedy For Peace. The performance was full of laughs, high energy, and acceptance of all. The comedians showed being diverse allows more opportunities and ideas to be creative in life. The questions and answers segment sealed the deal with the message that we all want to be happy, tolerant of others and live in peace. Dotan and the performers were great to work with and we would definitely have them come back again!

"Comedy for peace is an outstanding show from amazing comedians that really bring joy to our screens in times of uncertainty during a pandemic. We spent the evening with a great group of students and comedians, filled with laughter and enjoyment. CFP brought out a great group of comedians and were way better virtually than ever expected. We didn’t know what to expect with it being a virtual show, but we were pleasantly surprised and couldn’t be happier with how it went. Everyone from young students to older community members enjoyed the night, and laughter was shared by all".
Lauren Goldman, Engagement Associate- MIT
The Peace show was a fun time! The comedians brought a different kind of humor that felt personable and really engaged with the students who came. Even though the crowd was smaller than expected, they were so understanding and made it feel like a close, personal show. Their positive attitude and jokes had us all laughing. It turned out to be a great night!

The Denver JCC thoroughly enjoyed hosting ‘Comedy for Peace’ as part of their 2021 Neustadt JAAMM festival. From the good laughs, to the diverse topics and representation, we are so glad to have hosted them. Comedy for Peace does a beautiful job of weaving comedy and laughter into love, connection and tolerance. We could all learn a lot from Comedy and we certainly did this in this performance!

"Erik Angel and his crew of talented comedians are witty and funny. They have the ability to connect with audiences of all ages and adjust their show on the spot. And of course, it has a message: We are here to joke, laugh and leave all politics and differences outside the room for 90 minutes. Highly recommended to schedule this show at universities, community centers and any place with a diverse audience that appreciates comedy.

We hosted Comedy For Peace as part of our Israel Independence Day week, and it was a huge success. The comedians managed to engage the students and encouraged them to participate in the show, the jokes were hilarious, and overall the participants had such a great time. The show ended with a beautiful message of tolerance and unity, which was very important for me. I would definitely invite them again!

Laughter is one of the best medicines there is when grappling with tragedy or uncertain and difficult times, and thanks to the brilliant performers of Comedy for Peace, our community received a major dose of laughter and optimism last night.

Between the four comedians there really was something that each person in the audience could identify with and appreciate. The content was hilarious, and from inquiry to post-performance check-in the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. We cannot wait to have Comedy for Peace come back to perform for our community!"

Comedy 4 Peace are so much more then just bunch of talented comedians, they are smart, know how to read the crowd, facilitate them in the show in respectful and funny way, but it doesn’t stop here. Comedy 4 Peace created so many bridges for us, with Muslim students, the Persian community in campus and more. I can not stress with how important this show was for us and they were being fantastic!
Amit Dadon, The Ohio state university
I saw your show in Shelburne VT and I was so surprised and ELATED to hear all of your comedy skits. You guys totally brought that. I laughed my a** off. I appreciate the laughter, and I really really enjoyed the show.
Sita Watanabe, audience member
Our students absolutely LOVED the show! The comedians were extremely funny and witty and we couldn’t stop laughing the entire show! It was exactly what our students needed before their finals. Thank you so much comedy4peace for an hilarious and unforgettable evening! We hope next time to have you in person!
Dana Bar, Hillel at FSU Foundation
The Comedy For Peace show brought laughter and positivity to UC Santa Cruz. It's great to see initiatives like this that promote unity and understanding through humor, without resorting to divisive political commentary. Hopefully, more events like this will continue to spread across campuses and communities, bringing people of all backgrounds together through laughter and shared experiences.

Comedy for peace was a night of laughs, warmth and happiness for our community. After 2 years of being apart, it was the perfect evening to come together. The comedians did an amazing job of making us laugh and feel excited and also emotional. At the end of this evening we where so emotional and feeling optimistic for the first time in a long time. Comedy for peace is what the world need right now! Dotan, Tehran, Steve and the rest of the group, thank you for coming to Milwaukee! this was everything we had hoped for. Toda Raba!

Comedy for Peace show at Muhlenberg College, just mad everyone cries. From laughing... The students loved the show, and needed a break between sets to catch their breath. The Q&A session in the end was important, and really tied all the event together, and all of us left with a taste of more.
