​

BUILT FOR JEWISH COMMUNITY EVENTS

​

Jewish community events have a specific entertainment requirement: clean enough for a synagogue setting, respectful of religious tradition, engaging for multi generational audiences (kids, parents, grandparents in the same room), and memorable enough to become part of the community's shared story. Andy's show is purpose built for exactly that environment.

​

A SHOW BUILT FOR JEWISH COMMUNITY AUDIENCES

​

The show is intentionally designed to land cleanly in synagogue and community settings:

​

• 100% clean humour. No alcohol references, no inappropriate content, no material that wouldn't fit a synagogue or Chabad community setting.

• Completely respectful of all religious traditions, observances and faith backgrounds.

• Volunteers retain full control throughout. No embarrassment, no loss of dignity, no material that would damage community standing.

• Works for multi generational audiences. Teens, adults, elders all in the same room.

• Suitable for Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and secular Jewish community contexts.

• Andy works directly with rabbis and event coordinators to ensure content alignment.

 

THE SHOW

​

Andy delivers 60-75 minute interactive comedy hypnosis shows where willing volunteers from your community become the stars of the night. The comedy comes from harmless, playful scenarios volunteers actively want to participate in - the kind of premium entertainment that turns a synagogue Purim celebration or Hanukkah event into the night the community will reference for years.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT JEWISH COMMUNITY BOOKINGS

​

Q: Is the show suitable for an Orthodox or observant Jewish community event?

A: Yes. The show is 100% clean, completely respectful of all faith traditions, and has been performed at major Orthodox synagogues including St Kilda Shule, Caulfield Shule and Chabad North Shore. Andy works directly with rabbis and event coordinators to ensure timing, content and presentation align with community expectations.

​

Q: Can the show fit around Shabbat and Jewish festival timing?

A: Yes. Andy works around Shabbat (Friday evening to Saturday night) and major Jewish festival schedules. Purim celebrations, Hanukkah events, motzei Shabbat (Saturday night) community functions, and weekday community events are all suitable booking windows. Andy will confirm date suitability based on the Jewish calendar before booking is finalised.

​

Q: What audience size and age range works best?

A: Comedy hypnosis works best with adult and mixed generation audiences of 50+ people. Andy regularly performs for Jewish community events ranging from 80 to 300+ people. Purim celebrations, Hanukkah events, synagogue gala dinners and community fundraisers. The show is built for adult and family friendly community audiences (high school age and up). Smaller children's focused events typically aren't the right format fit. The audience needs to be old enough to engage with the show.

​

Don't settle for ordinary entertainment for your Jewish community event. Book Andy Vening for your next Purim celebration, Hanukkah event, synagogue community gala dinner or Jewish community fundraiser and give your community a night they'll still be talking about long after the event has wrapped.
