Pittsburgh Fringe: Circumscribed – Just Can’t Not

Host Chris Lindstrom is joined by storyteller Noam Osband to talk about his award-winning show “Circumscribed”, making its Pittsburgh debut. It’s a story about growing up with a father who was a mohel (Jewish ritual circumciser) who buried foreskins at home, failed efforts at finding paternal figures after his untimely death, and wrestling with circumcising his own kid. Weaving together family video, pictures, and audio recordings, this comedic storytelling is a perfect show about the lovable eccentrics we call family.

Winner of the Audience Choice Award at the 2025 New York Fringe.
