Leah Forster
Leah Forster, world-famous ex-Hasidic comedian, talks about how her journey has affected her comedy.
Leah found comedy at a young age and pioneered comedy by women, for women, in the ultra-Orthodox world. She realized that the ultra-Orthodox life she grew up with caused a deep conflict within her, and she left to remain true to her authentic self.
She was later at the center of a controversy where two bookings at kosher restaurants were canceled, with their kashrus organizations threatening to pull their certifications because she was lesbian.
