Comedian Uri Zeitlin Leaves Kol Berama Radio After Six Years
Broadcaster and comedian Uri Zeitlin leaves Kol Berama radio after six years to focus entirely on his stand-up career. Co-host Israel Cohen will continue the show solo.
After six years on the airwaves at Kol Berama radio, broadcaster and stand-up comedian Uri Zeitlin is stepping down from the station to focus entirely on his growing stage career. Zeitlin, who co-hosted the popular program "Full Gaz" alongside media personality Israel Cohen, has decided to dedicate his time exclusively to live performances. Cohen will continue hosting the show solo.
Transition to the Stage
Zeitlin leaves the radio after building considerable experience as a stand-up comedian performing for both ultra-Orthodox and secular audiences. He has performed at the Comedy Bar club and launched his one-man show "Free Lesson", where he humorously reflects on life within the ultra-Orthodox community, relations with the secular public, and personal experiences. This past January, he performed the show at the Zionist Confederation House in Tel Aviv.
Reflecting on his career path in past interviews, Zeitlin has spoken candidly about the financial instability of the entertainment and journalism industries. Known for his self-deprecating wit, he once joked that while journalism offers unpredictable income, stand-up guarantees a complete lack of financial certainty, yet brings personal fulfillment.
Looking Ahead
Over the past six years, Zeitlin successfully balanced his radio commitments with live comedy. On "Full Gaz", he and Cohen discussed current affairs, politics, and stories from the ultra-Orthodox sector, incorporating satirical segments and spontaneous banter. Now, as Zeitlin embarks full-time on his comedy journey, Cohen remains at the helm of the radio broadcast.
