To celebrate their thirteenth anniversary on the air, Comedy Central will be broadcasting a “Comedy Central's Bar Mitzvah” special on April 25. Performers Jewish (Jeffrey Ross, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Judy Gold) and gentile (Snoop Dogg, Drew Barrymore, Mario Cantone, Adam Carolla, Colin Quinn, Wanda Sykes) alike will appear at the event.
I’ve gotta say- I liked this same idea a lot more four years ago, when my college comedy troupe, Boris’ Kitchen, did the exact same thing, celebrating our 13th anniversary with a year-end show called “Boris’ Bar Mitzvah.”
Quite a memorable affair- a freshman in the troupe drank on stage, passed liquor bottles out to the audience, and was later ejected from the building. Wouldn’t surprise me for a second if Attell, Carrolla, and Snoop tried the same thing on Comedy Central's version.
