Morbidly Jewish is a fearless stand-up comedy special from Raanan Hershberg that takes on antisemitism, conspiracy theories, modern dogma, and the strange comfort people find in absolute certainty. With razor-sharp jokes and unapologetic honesty, Raanan skewers Joe Rogan culture, Trump-era politics, horoscopes, internet conspiracies, and the bizarre ways people talk about Israel—especially the loudest and most extreme voices on all sides.
This special isn’t about telling you what to think — it’s about making fun of people who are way too sure they already know. From mocking spiritual pseudoscience to exposing the absurdity of tribal thinking, Morbidly Jewish balances dark humor with smart, fearless comedy that punches up and questions everything.
If you like stand-up comedy that’s edgy, intelligent, controversial, and brutally honest, this special is for you.
Raanan Hershberg’s fourth stand-up comedy special was filmed at Sesh Comedy Club in New York City on May 2025.
