Modi Rosenfeld

Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by The Hollywood Reporter, Modi Rosenfeld – known simply as Modi – is a regular performer at the New York and Los Angeles comedy clubs and also headlines around the country and across the globe.

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Modi emigrated with his family to the United States at the age of seven. After graduating from Boston University, he worked as an investment banker until his first open-mic night made him realize that stand-up was his true calling. Modi has gone on to become a successful comedian and is popular with diverse Jewish audiences as well as fans of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Modi has played himself on HBO's Crashing and Netflix's When Jews Were Funny. He's also appeared in several feature films and played leading roles in two: Waiting for Woody Allen, which won the LA Film Festival, and Stand Up, a feature-length film. In 2018, Mayor Bill De Blasio declared June 26th 'Mordechi Modi Rosenfeld Day' in the city of New York for his accomplishments and contributions to the artistic community.
