Yaniv Zarif ~ Comedy Vocalist/Polyglot
Friday, April 30, 2027 ~ 7:30 PM
Yaniv Zarif is not just a singer—he is a one-man United Nations onstage. A global citizen and ambassador of song, Yaniv has collected more languages than most people collect socks—32 to be exact, six of which he speaks fluently, and the rest he sings with enough confidence
to convince you he is a local.
This polyglot powerhouse has toured to over one hundred countries with his music and comedy, somehow avoiding jet lag through sheer vocal stamina. His musical journey began with national tours of The Sound of Music, followed by New York performances, alongside icons like Robin Williams, Harvey Fierstein, and Chita Rivera.
Yaniv’s critically acclaimed roles have spanned everything from Carousel to Peter Pan, South Pacific, and Parade—roles that demanded not only his powerhouse voice but also his gift for cultural
understanding. Critics have praised his emotional depth, but he prefers to think of it as “singing with feeling… and sometimes an unreasonable amount of hand gestures.”
But wait, there is more! His solo show, Polyphonic: Yaniv Zarif’s World of Song, isnot just a concert, it is an around-the-world trip, minus the hassle of airport security.With a voice that can shapeshift between French, Hebrew, Hindi, Swahili, and evenAmerican Sign Language (yes, he’s an award-winning ASL song interpreter too), Yanivcan serenade you in a dozen languages before you can even ask, “How do you say‘amazing’ in Russian?”
He is also an accomplished yodeler, because…why not? And as a natural storyteller,Yaniv effortlessly weaves comedy, movement, and choreography into every show,creating a full-on spectacle where the only predictable thing is that you will leavelaughing, clapping, and Googling “how to say bravo in 32 languages.”
Most important of all, in Polyphonic: Yaniv Zarif’s World of Song, each song is apassport, each language a celebration, and every moment a reminder that music is the world’s first universal language.
