A JEW WALKS INTO A BAR is a 24-minute short featured at the Spokane Jewish Film Festival. It told the story of David Finklestein, an ultra-Orthodox Jew who is also a talented, aspiring, stand-up comedian. Every day he is forced to make choices about his religion vs. his unusual career.Â
David lives in a very secluded Jewish Brooklyn area of New York. There are so many things he has never experienced due to his religious upbringing, yet his perspectives are honest and very funny. Audiences love his dry, dead-pan sense of humor.
The crux of A JEW WALKS INTO A BAR is how David will expand his act and still stay true to his roots and who he is at his core. His journey is fascinating to watch and highly entertaining.Â
