Does the news get you down? Not with these two crazy friends! Embracing the philosophy that it’s better to laugh than cry, join co-hosts Steve Miller and Roya Mohsenian as they take an irreverent look at the news from the Holy land and beyond!
Steve Miller spent 25 years in the entertainment industry as a professional comedian. He has toured all over the world entertaining millions of people. From Comedy clubs in Los Angeles and New York to the U.S troops in the Middle East, Japan, Africa & South Korea. His style of comedy is auto biographical and he brings his life to the stage with pure honesty. In 2015 he had a life changing moment and decided to use his comedy and his new love of Torah, Israel and the Jewish people and somehow mesh the two together to inspire others to also love Torah & Israel. Currently he lives outside of the Philadelphia area in the United States with his wife & 2 Children and plans on eventually living in Israel before Moshiach (the Messiah) comes!
ROYA MOHSENIAN is an American-Iranian childhood friend with an infectious laugh and somehow has fed and nurtured Steven’s fast wit and sense of humor. We don’t know if this is a privilege for her to be around someone who jokes about crazy things, …or a punishment! YOU decide!
