'Land of Milk and Funny' Presented by LA Jewish Film Festival
LAND OF MILK AND FUNNY
Comedy/Documentary/USA/2017/78 minutes
Directed by Larry Herbst
Produced by Danny Gold
From thousands of miles away, a rising young Jewish comedian decided not merely to devote much of his own career to regularly visiting Israel in order to entertain a nation battered by terrorism..but also implored, cajoled and (subsequently) encouraged his professional colleagues Jews, Christians, white, black, whatever to join him on this adventure.
LAND OF MILK AND FUNNY views Israel through the eyes of society's best and funniest observers: stand-up comedians. For fifteen years, Avi Liberman has been taking fellow American comedians of different backgrounds to Israel. As they tour and perform across the country, some are deeply affected, overcome by the spiritual significance of Biblical and historic sites; others are wildly irreverent. The hilarious Craig Robinson memorably recounts his failed attempts to pick up girls in Hebrew. Born in Israel, raised in Texas, Liberman's tours feature 30 renowned comedians (i.e., Gary Gulman, Craig Robinson, Wayne Federman and Dan Naturman) doing 100 shows, selling over 20,000 tickets for charity.
Q&A with Avi Liberman and comedian Wayne Federman, moderated by Cantor Kenny Ellis (Hanukkah Swings)
