SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. -- Lisa Geduldig  is back with her annual Kung Pao Kosher Comedy: Jewish Comedy on Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant. The annual Kung Pao takes place in San Francisco's Chinatown. Set to deliver an Oy vey holiday, as always, Yiddish proverbs offer words of wisdom in your fortune cookies. During its three-day run, options include a Dinner Show and  Cocktail Show.

Jewish comedy on Christmas in a Chinese restaurant now serves up hilarious entertainment that's going strong after 25 years. What started out as a joke by local standup comic, Lisa Geduldig, has become an institution in San Francisco, giving more than 2000 comedy aficionados and those escaping Christmas-mania an annual reprieve from I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas.

Christmas show which pokes fun at all things gaudy and bright includes oversized hats, wacky characters, political satire and tons of silliness! It's a must see event that will make you laugh and say, "Only in San Francisco!"

Another hilarious stage show, Kung Pao Kosher Comedy, from comedy veteran Lisa Geduldig, includes top comedy acts to the backdrop of cocktails or a full course Chinese holiday banquet. Invented by accident when Geduldig thought she was appearing at a comedy club but it turned out to be a Chinese restaurant, that misunderstanding was quite funny and led to the creation of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy.

Here are a few Jewish Comedians: Jason Alexander, Woody Allen, Bea Arthur, Roseanne Barr, Chuck Barris, Jack Benny, Elaine Boosler, David Brenner, Albert & Mel Brooks, George Burns, Red Buttons, Sid Caesar, Billy Crystal, Larry David, Fran Drescher, Richard Dreyfuss, Marty Feldman, Al Franken, Estelle Getty, Jeff Goldblum, Goldie Hawn, The Marx Brothers, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Garry Shandling, Sara Silverman, Jon Stewart, Jerry Stiller and Gene Wilder.
