Doron Rahav

A daring and audacious stand-up comedian who for the past 6 years has been performing the best venues in Israel, as well as being a resident stand-up comedian in the biggest stand-up club in Israel, the ‘Camel Comedy Club’. Doron has been included in a number of television shows, among them a show called ‘The Club’, in which she performed an especially fierce and blaring act which was followed by a lot of critique and across-the-board wave of reactions. In her act Doron discusses her private life, herself as an Israeli, and her role as a woman in a vastly chauvinistic field. A thought-provoking, interesting, up-beat and most importantly hilarious stand-up performance!
