Joshua Reuben Silverstein is an award-winning actor, comic, writer, and world-class beatboxer whose talent has earned praise from legends like Norman Lear and Prince. Named by Jewish News Service as “one of the best beatboxers in the world,” he became the first beatboxer featured on network TV, dropping beats for The Late Late Show with James Corden’s viral “Drop the Mic.”

He’s shared the stage with Slash, Wayne Brady, and Ursula Rucker, and his acclaimed solo show Tell Me I’m Pretty blends spoken-word, rap, and storytelling to explore identity, race, and gender in America.

A passionate educator and Emmy-winning teen-open-mic host, Joshua uses art and humor to spark creativity and build inclusive communities—making him the perfect guide for Tell Your Jewish Story.

 

Special thanks to the Anthony Pritzker Family Foundation for underwriting the series as a loving tribute to Tony’s late mother, Susan S. Pritzker. The goal of the Pritzker series is to feature dynamic and educational presentations by top professionals, appealing to women of all stages of life.
