YidLife Crisis

Montreal comedy duo YidLife Crisis returns to Atlanta on Saturday, October 17, at 8 p.m. with a film and live show at the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta. Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman will present their documentary Swedishkayt: YidLife Crisis in Stockholm, perform comedy before the screening, and return to the stage for music afterward.

Best known for their award-winning Yiddish comedy web series, Batalion and Elman bring their quick wit and easy chemistry to the funny, warmhearted documentary Swedishkayt: YidLife Crisis in Stockholm. Arriving in Stockholm to put on a show, they discover a vibrant Jewish community with 250 years of history. Their lively encounters with local residents lead to one especially surprising connection: Yiddish, the language woven into their own comedy, is officially recognized as a minority language in Sweden.
