Jessica Kirson & Friends Stand Up for JQY

On Tuesday, September 16, comedian Jessica Kirson will host a stand-up show at Gotham Comedy Club (208 W 23rd Street) to benefit the nation’s largest direct service provider for queer Jewish youth. Proceeds from the show, which will also feature comedians Rachel Feinstein and Emma Willmann, will help JQY (Jewish Queer Youth) continue to connect youth and young adults to one another, providers, and relevant resources. 

A mental health organization, JQY empowers Jewish queer teens and young adults to live healthy and joyful lives, and provides critical services and programs for youth from historically non-accepting communities.
