DAVE BARRY, ALAN ZWEIBEL & ADAM MANSBACH, For This We Left Egypt?

SPONSORED BY: Classic Tents and Events

Leave it to the brilliant comedic minds of Dave Barry (You Can Date Boys When You’re Forty), Alan Zweibel (Saturday Night Live and 700 Sundays), and Adam Mansbach (Go the F*** to Sleep) to reinvent the Passover Haggadah. Finally, good Jews everywhere will no longer have to sit (and sleep) through a lengthy and boring Seder. The authors will take you  through every step of the Seder, from getting rid of all the chametz in your home by setting it on fire with a kosher blowtorch to a retelling of the Passover story starring Pharaoh Schmuck and a burning bush that sounds like Morgan Freeman, set against the backdrop of the Promised Land. They also ask the burning (bush) questions: Can we all agree that prunes in brisket are disgusting? Is Manischewitz even a wine, or could it, perhaps, be considered a plague? So gather all the Jews in your life (even the few who don’t appear to be long-suffering) and friends of Jews who love a good laugh and join us for an evening of guaranteed hilarity and merriment. We have it on good authority that Elijah might even show up!
