Laughs and Lessons: Kings of Camp

On April 15 Jacob Kaplan and Marcus Lustig took an audience of about 50 on a hilarious journey through their experiences touring their two-man comedy show, “Kings of Camp,” across various Jewish summer camps. After the show, Marcus and Jacob answered questions from the audience, offering insightful perspectives and valuable advice from their time in the entertainment industry. Earlier, UW–Madison’s Jewop a cappella group performed. The event was sponsored by Student Affairs, in partnership with UW Hillel.
