Israeli comedian the comedian is celebrating his 52nd birthday on Sunday. Known for his work on "Eretz Nehederet" and "HaParlament," the comedian has a varied life story beyond his comedic roles. He grew up in Ramat Verber, Petah Tikva, with his mother Sima, a school secretary, and his father David, who worked for a beverage company subsidiary. The comedian served in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit, not as a combat soldier but as a base chemist, an experience that later inspired his series "Metkalistim." Although he began studying communications at the College of Administrative Sciences, he did not complete his degree. His breakthrough came with the comedy series "Mesudarim" in 2007, where he played Erez Kleiner and co-wrote the script, earning an Israeli Television Academy Award for Best Comedy Screenplay. For over two decades, the comedian has collaborated with radio host Sharon Tayecher, starting on Galatz, moving to Radio Tel Aviv, and returning to Galatz. Their show "Tayecher and the comedian" began in 2015, and they won a Radio Award in 2019 for Best Non-Current Affairs Spoken Word Program. The comedian joined "Eretz Nehederet" in 2010, initially as a guest and later as a regular cast member, impersonating figures like Naftali Bennett and Vladimir Putin. He also co-wrote popular sketches such as "HaTortalim" and "Shauli's" sketches. He was the head writer for "HaParlament," a "Eretz Nehederet" spin-off that premiered in 2012, even taking a break from "Eretz Nehederet" to focus on its second season, which won five Israeli Television Academy Awards in 2015. The comedian and Tayecher also provided comedic commentary for the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest held in Tel Aviv. Despite his extensive on-screen experience, the comedian felt insecure about his role in Avi Nesher's 2023 film "Gan Kokavim" because he had never formally studied acting. The comedian, who lives in Ramat HaSharon with his wife Liron and their three children, prefers to keep his personal life private.
