Gay Jewish Comedian MODI Roasted Ben Shapiro and He LOVED It!

Gay Jewish comedian MODI has performed for just about every kind of audience, including a room full of Republicans after Donald Trump and a Commentary Magazine roast where he went straight at Ben Shapiro. And according to MODI, Shapiro loved every second of it. In this clip from Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, MODI explains why he has no problem bringing gay material into conservative spaces, what happens when an audience realizes he has a husband, and why his goal is not to make people uncomfortable. It is to make them laugh. He also reveals why he agreed to perform for the Republican Jewish Coalition in Nevada. For MODI, comedy can reach people who may disagree with him politically or personally. As he puts it, the goal is laughter and unity. Whether he is roasting Ben Shapiro or doing gay material in front of a Republican crowd, if everyone is laughing, he has done his job. 00:00 Dave Chappelle, Comedy & Disagreement 00:23 MODI Roasts Ben Shapiro 02:49 Being Gay in Conservative Spaces 03:36 Democrats vs. Republicans 03:45 Performing for the Republican Jewish Coalition Watch the full episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt featuring MODI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjqVNuYnxjg If you want to go deeper beyond the podcast, join the Being Jewish Kehillah -- our subscriber community that gives you access to exclusive bonus content, merch discounts, live office hours with Jonah, special community events, and more.
