King of the Court
A live comedy show about shooting for your dreams
About the Show
The average height of NBA players is 6’6. Less than 1% of NBA players are Jewish. Most of them did not go to prom alone. These facts — somehow — still did not stop Jon Savitt from chasing his dreams. Fusing humorous anecdotes with authentic photos, King of the Court is the untold underdog story of one of the greatest athletes to ever live. Okay, sure, “athlete” may be subjective. So grab your foam finger and get ready to laugh, cry, and cheer. Because dreams have no shot clock.
Jon Savitt is a writer and comedian from Minneapolis, Minnesota featured in places like Funny or Die, College Humor, TIME, Washington Post, Splitsider, NBC, and more. He’s performed at festivals across the country (Dallas Comedy Fest, Hawaii Comedy Festival, Omaha Comedy Festival, Plano Comedy Festival, SketchFest Seattle, Twin Cities Jewish Humor Festival), and has opened for national headliners seen on Netflix, Comedy Central, and more.
