Luckily, her career move has worked out. She regularly performs at the hottest comedy clubs and events in the US and Canada–and soon, Israel! Her jokes have appeared in major news publications and are mentioned frequently on Page Six. The Times of Israel says Talia’s “a rising comedy star who has a polish, panache, and a gift of jab reminiscent of her childhood hero, Joan Rivers.” Her parents were most proud when Talia’s comedy show was called a “Hot Ticket” by the NY Post. Her routines feature personal life stories, from growing up in Great Neck to life as a newly observant Jew, marriage, motherhood, and a unique take on being female in today’s society. A recent surge in interest in her stand-up clip “Female Privilege” has garnered over 350K views on YouTube. Passionate fans are blown away by the irony and intellect behind her jokes.
