A Performance by Josh Kornbluth, In-Person and on Zoom.

This event is on Zoom and In-Person.Join us as comic monologist Josh Kornbluth brings his wry perspective to the Jung Institute. With his insight, creative imagination and sense of the ironic, he will help us find healing through humor. Josh will speak of his personal encounters with depression, while witnessing the nation’s descent into fascism. Growing up in another time of upheaval with Jewish leftist parents amidst post-war McCarthyism, he learned to see humor in the most dire situations.
