Matthew Broussard is a disgraced financial analyst forced into standup comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics that he always manages to bring up (just did it!) His comedy is heady, self-effacing, and weirdly… educational? He’s performed on the Tonight Show, Conan, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, the Comedy Central Half Hour and some stuff with MTV2 he doesn’t like to talk about. You can catch him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The League, The Mindy Project and alongside Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in the film Here Today. He is the creator of the webcomic and puzzle app, Monday Punday.

Beverages and light bites will be available for purchase beginning at 6:30 PM before the show.

Tickets: $28 premium seating/$18 standard seating, no drink minimum

Looking UP is the inspiring story of Eitan Armon, a young man facing encroaching blindness who takes on the challenge of climbing the world’s most epic granite wall. While in military service at age 20, Eitan is diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare and incurable genetic disease that causes blindness. With only 5 percent of his central vision remaining, Eitan learns to rock climb and ascends Yosemite’s daunting El Capitan. Looking Up documents Eitan’s journey and resilience, demonstrating the endless possibilities for those who approach life with positivity.

Presented by the Jewish Miami Film Festival (MJFF), Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore offers a deeply personal and inspiring portrait of Marlee Matlin — trailblazing Jewish actress, activist, and Academy Award winner — whose life and career have reshaped how we see representation and resilience.

From her Oscar-winning role in Children of a Lesser God to unforgettable performances in The West Wing, CODA and beyond, Matlin has carved a path through an industry often resistant to true inclusion. Yet, as this powerful documentary, directed with warmth and insight by Shoshannah Stern, reveals, her greatest strength lies not only in her performances but in her courage, faith and the communities that continue to uplift her.

Are you and your partner looking for a meaningful way to explore Jewish life in a warm, welcoming community—without any pressure or expectations?

The initiative offers a welcoming environment where couples can connect with others in similar situations and engage with a rabbi to learn, share experiences and grow together. Embark focuses on helping couples navigate important topics such as celebrating holidays, blending family traditions and planning for the future in a way that feels authentic to their unique relationship. Through delicious meals, deep conversations, and fun, immersive experiences, you’ll meet other couples on a similar path and have Rabbi Dvir and Rabbanit Shalhevet on speed dial to answer any of your deep burning questions.
