Schtick Happens. / by Amanda Marks

If you’re planning a Jewish event for your Sisterhood, synagogue, ORT chapter, Hadassah group, or JCC, and you’re looking to bring in a smart, relatable Jewish comedian who gets the culture, Amanda Marks is the name to remember. Because let’s face it, schtick happens… so why not make it hilarious?

Meet Amanda Marks: Southern, Jewish, and Seriously Funny

Amanda Goldstein Marks is a fifth-generation Alabama Jew now based in Atlanta. She tours nationally with the hit show Moms Unhinged, performs at stand-up comedy festivals across the country, and has opened for Jewish comedy legends Jessica Kirson and Judy Gold. She’s also the co-host of the award-winning Sis & Tell Podcast, where she blends Jewish storytelling with Southern charm and sharp wit.

Her material is clean, anecdotal and sometimes a little spicy and connects effortlessly with multi-generational Jewish audiences. Whether she’s joking about Jewish summer camp, synagogue social dynamics, or the unique chaos of Jewish family life in the South, Amanda’s comedy fits naturally into Jewish communal spaces. It’s never mean-spirited, always insightful, and always funny.
