Presented by Israel ParaSport Center

2026 Chicago Teaming with Laughter

World-class comedy. Great food. Real impact.

On October 6, the Israel ParaSport Center brings an unforgettable evening of comedy and community to the Chicagoland area, featuring Randy and Jason Sklar, the acclaimed comedian duo whose sharp wit, genuine warmth, and infectious chemistry have made them fixtures of American comedy for three decades. They'll be joined by special guest Boaz Kramer, Paralympic medalist and Executive Director of The Center, along with fellow Israeli athletes. The evening includes a cocktail reception, dinner, and a live performance — the kind of night you're still talking about on the drive home.

Every ticket and sponsorship helps empower Israelis with disabilities — children, adults, veterans, and survivors of all backgrounds — to build confidence, independence, and community through the power of adaptive sport.

Featuring the Sklar Brothers

The Sklar Brothers

Randy and Jason Sklar have spent three decades doing something rare — making packed rooms feel like they're all in on the same joke.

University of Michigan and Camp Ramah Wisconsin alumni, the Sklars have deep roots in our community. Twin brothers, lifelong collaborators, and two of the most versatile performers working in comedy today, the Sklars built their career at the intersection of sports and comedy — creating and starring in the ESPN cult hit Cheap Seats, hosting History Channel's United Stats of America, and appearing in What We Do in the Shadows, Better Call Saul, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Grey's Anatomy, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They currently write and perform on Amazon's Good Sports with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson.

On October 6, the Sklar Brothers — two of comedy's biggest sports fans — take the stage for the Israel ParaSport Center's Teaming with Laughter.


With Special Guest Boaz Kramer

Boaz Kramer
Boaz Kramer

Boaz Kramer came to The Center at the age of five. Today, he's running the place that pushed him to become a Paralympian. He won a silver medal in wheelchair tennis doubles at the 2008 Beijing Games, reached the quarterfinals in London 2012, and was ranked 9th in the world at the height of his career — all while studying medicine at Tel Aviv University and, in 2011, taking on the role of Executive Director while still competing internationally.

For the hundreds who train at The Center, Boaz is proof of what's possible — a life without limits. On October 6, he'll be joined by fellow Israeli athletes from The Center.
