#114 – With Bob Alper – They Really Let You Do That?
Episode #114 – With Rabbi Bob Alper – They Really Let You Do That? Fun conversation with Bob Alper, world's only practicing rabbi/stand-up comic (really). We talked about his start in comedy, the Jewish comedy of the year contest, totally clean comedy and much more. From Bob: Key Message / Core Story: Maya Angelou wrote that people forget what you say, and they forget what you do, but they never forget how you make them feel. My calling – and my rabbinate – is trying to make people feel good, whether through my formal performances, often before hundreds, or when I encounter someone checking papers and licenses at a car rental lot. I enter their lives for a few moments and hope to lift their spirits through my humor. There's a reason why Sirius/XM satellite radio plays Rabbi Bob Alper's comedy bits many times daily, often sandwiched between Bob Newhart and Jerry Seinfeld. Bob's background – he served large congregations for fourteen years and holds a doctorate from Princeton Theological Seminary which prepared him well for a thirty-five year comedy career with delicious material presented in a way that's intelligent, hilarious, and 100% clean. The New York Times put it succinctly: Bob "…had the audience convulsing." From Hollywood's IMPROV to The Montreal Comedy Festival to Toronto's Muslimfest (really), Bob's unique brand of humor has a universal appeal.
