Comedy Review: Crossroads Comedy Tour

The audience seemed compelled to laugh themselves silly, even to the detriment of their mental faculties.

Crossroads Comedy Tour ZOA House Tel Aviv June 19 Some people purport that on the seventh day, God rested. Truth is, the legend goes, that God sat around with his buddies, had a few beers and laughed his rear off at the corny little invention just created. It's a far cry from a god with a sense of humor to a human with one, but four such funnymen came here from America to make sure that comedy would have a solid showing in Israel. LA-based comic Avi Liberman put together the Crossroads Comedy Tour a few years back to help raise money for the Crossroads Center for at-risk Anglo Youth. Liberman has a decent track record for bringing over top-notch talent and this year was no different, with a solid line-up of Dan Naturman, Lowell Sanders, a.k.a. The Pickle, and Harland Williams. The audience seemed compelled to laugh themselves silly, even to the detriment of their mental faculties - a sure sign of a great comedy show.
