For the first time ever in Berlin, the boychiks from Montreal present an evening of comedy, film and music, which includes investigating the German capital with their special brand of chuzpe.

YidLife Crisis is the worldwide first Yiddish web series, an homage to yiddishkayt and a love letter to the Jewish-Canadian experience, complete with bagels and a grain of salt.

No need to be Jewish nor knowledge of Yiddish required. Sense of humor requested.

In cooperation with the Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg and the Embassy of Canada to Germany.

YidLife Crisis

YidLife Crisis plotzed onto the internet in 2014 as the world’s first (and best!… and only) Yiddish web series, toasting, roasting and wrestling with the modern Jewish experience. Since then, co-creators Jamie Elman & Eli Batalion have racked up over 4 million online views of their irreverent, insightful shtick, various awards and nominations, and frequent live performances across North America.
