Our Comedy Club is back showcasing the best in Jewish Comedy!
We’re bringing you Jewish and Jew-ish comics, from rising stars to names you'll recognise, and not just from sitting next to them at your niece's Bat Mitzvah! Be aware, you might hear one or two words that your Bubbe only said in Yiddish, hoping you wouldn't understand...
Our debut show is compered by the wonderful Rachel Creeger, featuring Gilli Apter for the opener, up-and-comer Levy Lupu, Jewish comedy writer Davina Bentley and headlined by multi award winning comedian and filmmaker Joe Bor.

Up and Comer: Levy Lupu
Levy Lupu, a charismatic comedian hailing from Romania, has been lighting up the UK comedy scene since 2021. Now based in London, Levy's sharp wit and unique perspective have earned him accolades, including a win at Manchester's Beat the Frog and notable performances at Spiky Mike’s gong show in Sheffield and Vauxhall Ding Dong Gong Show or Up The Creek in London.
Levy's comedy is infused with stories from his diverse life experiences, from his Romanian heritage to how he moved to UK on his own at 17 and learned to adapt in a new culture while living on a £3/day budget. Levy's blend of humor, sincerity, and dedication makes him a compelling performer on any stage.
Middle: Davina Bentley
Named in The Telegraph’s ‘5 Young Sketch Comedians to Watch’, Davina Bentley is a London raised Jewish comedy writer and former lawyer who delves into the absurdities of modern life and pop culture.
Her onstage persona showcases a biting wit and refusal to tolerate foolishness, while mischievously using her legal background to craft sharp material.
Davina’s online sketch content, posted on TikTok and Instagram, has carved out a niche, parodying history shows and podcasts like The Rest Is History, political podcasts such as The News Agents, and the Rest is Politics, and equally hard-hitting political parodies of Emily in Paris and Made in Chelsea. Her sketches have accumulated 1.6M likes on Tiktok.
Davina has writing credits on Radio 4 shows The Now Show, News Quiz, Dead Ringers and Please Use Other Door, and she has acted in and written for Radio 4 Extra’s DM’s Are Open.
