‘The next Jackie Mason’, stand-up comic MODI to perform for Paperweight
50-year-old Israeli-American entertainer called Mordechai Rosenfeld will help raise funds for the community's citizens' advice bureau
Hailed as “the next Jackie Mason”, stand-up comedian MODI is guaranteed to raise a smile with a virtual performance in aid of Paperweight this weekend.
The 50-year-old Israeli-American entertainer – whose full name is Mordechai Rosenfeld – was born in Tel Aviv and moved to New York with his family aged seven.
Previously a Wall Street banker, MODI is also a cantor and was voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York by Hollywood Reporter.
His performance is part of Paperweight’s 36-hour Lightening the Load Campaign, which starts on Sunday and aims to raise funds for the free advice service, which helps people with legal, financial
and welfare issues.
- MODI performs on Sunday, 21 February, at 8pm. To reserve a free place, visit charityextra.com/paperweight
