Noah Birnbaum

Standup comic.

S2E2 - Along with Eugene and Stan, Noah hazes Midge during her first gig at the 15th Street Comedy Club. The three get Bobby to bump Midge all the way to the end of the ticket, and Noah specifically makes her think that she’s about to go on, only to pass it off to a surprise appearance from Jackie Vernon. When Midge finally does go on, she roasts Eugene and Stan, which upsets them, but Noah seems to enjoy her set. He pats Stan on the shoulder in a playful mocking of sympathy.

S4E2 - Midge and Susie head down to the 15th Street Comedy Club, but Bobby informs them that all the slots are long taken and refuses to bump anyone. The two sit at the bar and loudly critique the acts while getting progressively drunker. David hosts, first introducing Noah Birnbaum. After Midge and Susie disrupt Noah Birnbaum’s act, Bobby tells Stewie to throw them out if they speak again. Stewie fails, however, to prevent their continued shenanigans. Later, Frankie Borden leaves the stage and David prepares to introduce Billy Jones. Susie plays a prank, locking Billy out of the club, leaving David to flounder on stage until Midge barges up and does Billy’s act. Outraged, Bobby tosses Midge and Susie out of the club and bans them for life.

NOAH: Jews come from all over the world. In my family alone, my grandparents speak five different languages, which means that I know how to say, “Why aren't you married?” in five different languages. I got circumcised when I was eight days old.

NOAH: Hello, everybody. How you doing? Everyone got your drinks, yeah? You know, a Jew's favorite whine is, “It's too cold in here.” I was walking by a church with my friend Sid. There was a sign that said, “50 bucks if you become a Catholic.” Sid's like, “I need some cash. I'm going in.” Fifteen minutes later, he comes back out, and I say to him, “Sid, Sid, did you get the 50 bucks?” He looks at me, shakes his head and says… “You Jews. All you ever think about is money.”
