Modi Rosenfeld left a job on Wall Street to do stand-up

Modi Rosenfeld was born in Tel Aviv in 1970 and moved with his family to Woodmere, New York, when he was seven. He graduated from Boston University in 1992 and worked as an international banker at Merrill Lynch on Wall Street before he turned to comedy.

Known on stage simply as Modi, he headlines comedy clubs across the United States and calls the Comedy Cellar in New York his home club. He reached the semi-finals of Last Comic Standing in its fourth season, and New York City proclaimed 26 June 2018 "Mordechi 'Modi' Rosenfeld Day".

In 2022 he co-founded the Chosen Comedy Festival with Elon Gold and Dani Zoldan. In 2024 he released his special Know Your Audience and was inducted into the Hall of Fame for Jewish Humor at Anu, the Museum of the Jewish People, and in 2026 he sold out Radio City Music Hall twice.
