That’s right. The world champ, Judah Friedlander will be doing over an hour of new material/crowd work at the still bright, shiny, and new venue Dynasty Typewriter at Hayworth Theater.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door and you can (and really, really should) get them here.

This week, Judah Friedlander’s latest hour of stand-up dropped in the form of what looks like Netflix’s most gritty looking stand-up special yet.
America Is The Greatest Country in the U.S., like Dave Attell’s Road Work, is a compilation of several different performances, which gives you a true sense of what watching Friedlander on any given night might be like. You can see his cool wits about him over a plethora of nights pre- and post- 2016 election as he exquisitely does crowd work in NYC’s hallowed comedy club, The Comedy Cellar.
The thesis suggested by the title allows for Judah to satirically point out what makes America #1, spinning our issues of gun control, healthcare, immigration, etc. into positives. Taping it at The Comedy Cellar also brings in a very diverse crowd, often a bunch of international tourists that Judah uses to his advantage when pointing out “why” America, once again, is the best. That being said, Judah does have a few choice digs against Trump that don’t quite break from the premise.
So, when get you chance, be a patriot for once and give Judah Friedlander: America Is The Greatest Country in the United States a watch.
This Halloween, if you want something that has nothing to do with the Halloween spirit, Judah Friedlander’s new hour special on Netflix, entitled America Is The Greatest Country in the U.S. will be up for streaming.
Get a taste of how Judah makes the case for the name of this special with this trailer.

Comedians including Aparna Nancherla, Guy Branum, Judah Friedlander, Gilbert Gottfried, Jordan Carlos, Mike Lawrence, Janeane Garafalo, Todd Barry, Connor Ratliff, Eugene Mirman, Grace Parra, Brian McCann, Dave Hill, and more debating various topics such as babies, vaginas, cats, dogs, and other inconsequential arguments with Michael Ian Black hosting sounds pretty good to us.
That’s all of what’s in Debate Wars that’s coming soon to Seeso. See for yourself in the trailer.
Enter the mind of World Champ Judah Friedlander in the form of cleverly simple drawings that offer a much more satirical and hysterical experience than they might appear on first glance.
It’s called If The Raindrops United and you can and should get it here. If nothing else, you’d be buying a book from a world champ, which is, for our money, often better than being on bestsellers list.
