Comedienne, cabaret artist, and living legend D'yan Forest (currently Guinness World Records Title Holder for Oldest Female Comedian in the World) returns to Joe’s Pub to celebrate her 91st birthday with an all-new show.

It’s never been easy being a Jew, but after 91 years, D'yan can laugh about it. And so will the audience, as D'yan gives us her uncensored take on being a Jew in America, with stories, songs and plenty of jokes. The world may be in a tragic place right now, but D'yan's definitely not. Tragedy? Schmadgedy! Let's laugh about it!

Critics have called D’yan everything from "saucy," "witty," "irrepressible," and a "naughty version of Betty White. " D’yan has performed on "The Drew Barrymore Show," "France’s Got Talent," and has had notable performances in New York, Paris, London, Israel, Edinburgh and even Ethiopia. If there’s a stage, chances are she’s been on it. She has been featured in The New York Times, Time Out NY, New York Post, and The Guardian.

D'yan Forest: A Gefilte Fish Out of Water was written by D’yan Forest and Stephen Clarke (bestselling author of A Year in the Merde).
