Raanan Hershberg

Raanan is one of comedy's most explosive voices, high-energy, joke-dense, and relentlessly funny. He's
performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and
Comedy Central. His special Jokes from the Underground was named one of The New York Times "Best
Comedy of 2022," with critic Jason Zinoman calling it "the funniest YouTube special of the year" and
praising his "punchy and deliriously funny club comedy" that holds up on second and third viewings.
Raanan has since released Brave, filmed at The Comedy Cellar, and It Could Have Been Better, now
streaming on Amazon, and his latest special, Morbidly Jewish.
As a filmmaker, he directed the short You Will Become President starring Joe List, and his most recent
film, Memory Room, a haunting psychological thriller about a caretaker who suspects one of her dementia
patients may be hiding a deadly secret, has just been accepted into the New York Shorts International
Film Festival in collaboration with Dan McCabe.
On stage, his solo show Off the Grid premiered at the New York International Fringe Festival, where Hy
Bender of Best New York Comedy declared it "one of the best one-man shows you are likely to see
anywhere.”
