For the past few years, successful American Jewish comedian Avi Liberman has organized comedy tours throughout Israel with other American comedians, simply to make Anglo crowds laugh - despite what might be at times an unfunny
situation in the country.

Liberman returned to Israel this year with stand-ups Bruce Smirnoff, Dwayne Perkins, and Cathy Ladman to perform “Crossroads Comedy,” a show benefiting Crossroads, an organization for English-speaking youth at risk in Jerusalem.

Liberman and Bruce Smirnoff here discuss their trip to Israel, the comedy tour, and how Smirnoff thinks Israelis might touch their food a bit more than Americans.
