EXCLUSIVE: Comedian Modi is extending his Pause for Laughter Tour following a run across North America and Europe. The new leg will kick off in San Francisco, CA on February 11, 2026, and make stops in major cities across the country before culminating in a hometown performance at Radio City Music Hall on April 23, 2026. This will be the largest New York City show yet for Modi, whose previous stop included three sold-out shows at the Beacon Theatre. For Modi, “Radio City Music Hall is one of those stages you dream about as a comedian. To perform there, in the city that’s shaped my comedy and my story, feels incredibly special.” He added, “I can’t wait to share that night with everyone.” A fixture in New York’s comedy scene, Modi is set to film his second stand-up special at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA from December 10–11, with Jordan Levy, Judi Marmel, J.P. Buck, and Kinsey Shomo executive producing. Voted one of the Top 10 Comedians in New York City by The Hollywood Reporter, the comic has also earned plaudits from The New York Times, Time Out NY and The New York Post, and has been featured on HBO, CBS, NBC, ABC, Comedy Central, The Howard Stern Show, and E! Entertainment. He has played himself in HBO’s Crashing and Netflix’s When Jews Were Funny, and currently hosts the And Here’s Modi podcast. Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Modi emigrated with his family to the United States at the age of seven and was raised on Long Island. After graduating from Boston University, he worked as an investment banker until his first open-mic night made him realize that stand-up was his true calling. The New York City Mayor’s Office declared June 26th Mordechi “Modi” Rosenfeld Day for his accomplishments and contributions to the city’s artistic community in 2018. Modi is represented by UTA and Levity. Check out his new set of dates below.
