8 Crazy Gifts

Buy Tickets

A comedy game show based on everyone’s favorite 8-day holiday, Hanukkah/Chanukkah/HanUKAH/chhhhaaaaanuukuah! Contestants will compete to test their knowledge of the Festival of Lights to win practical yet craycray prizes. *EVERY* guest of this show will walk away with a free gift, kind of like if you went to see Jewish Oprah. Your Bubbe will be disappointed in you if you miss this show.

Co-hosted by your favorite gentle non-gentile Ben Youngerman & soon-to-be convert Erica Sylvester.
