Mendy Pellin is a Hassidic comic with a web-based satirical news show called The Mendy Report.

Pellin was born to a Hassidic family in Denver, CO. He spent most of his childhood in Crown Heights, NY, home of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. At age 7, he was already learning the tricks of the trade at a local puppet theater.

With nothing like his show in the Jewish world and over 50,000 viewers per broadcast, Mendy blends Hassidic spirituality with out-of-the-box humor. He aims to overcome stereotypes commonly attributed to ultra-Orthodox Jews.

Mendy is also co-writer for a sitcom (release date unknown). Mendy and his wife, Shulamit, married at the end of March 2007.

He is the co-founder of Jewbellish.

Mendy also acts as a comedic Master of Ceremonies at a wide variety of events around the world.

He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Mendy worked alongside Brad Pitt in "Moneyball"(Columbia Pictures/Sony)^[1] starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Robin Wright and Philip Seymour Hoffman. He acted in the independent film "A Modest Suggestion (Film)".^[2]
