Lindsay Adams: Baking, Comedy, and Jewish Identity on The Jewcy Podcast

It's like a very different experience. And now I'm like and I'll get Heartburned.
What happens when two Jewish comediennes from non-Jewish towns get together for a chat? You get a hilarious and heartfelt episode of 'The Jewcy Podcast' with Lauren Jamison and Lindsay Adams. Lindsay, a Jersey-born comedian, writer, and serial baker, shares her unique journey of growing up in a place where Jewish culture was scarce. She recalls how her congregation had to meet at a church, with the Rabbi reading the Torah under a large cross—talk about blending traditions!
Similarly, Lauren attended Hebrew school at a Presbyterian Church in Texas due to the lack of nearby synagogues. The conversation takes a delicious turn as Lindsay talks about her love for baking, which started as a way to cope with the stresses of the comedy world. She even launched a podcast called 'Snack Time' after having to pause her interactive live baking comedy show 'Bake Stuff' due to the pandemic.
Lindsay’s baking isn’t just about creating tasty treats; it’s a therapeutic escape that helps her navigate her emotions and mental health. Lauren and Lindsay also dive into their shared experiences of feeling like outsiders in their communities and how they navigated their Jewish identities. They touch on the challenges of the freelance industry and the importance of setting boundaries to maintain mental health. With their humor and wit, they provide an entertaining yet profound discussion that’s both thought-provoking and relatable.
If you’re curious about how baking can be more than just mixing ingredients or want to hear some laugh-out-loud moments from two talented comedians, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a delightful blend of comedy, culture, and candid conversations.
