For anyone on Instagram, The Fat Jew (@thefatjewish) is pretty much essential-following: hilarious posts several times a day, which are laugh-outloud funny. Money, Pizza, Respect is a loosely autobiographical account of how Josh The Fat Jew' Ostrovsky went from teaching homeless peopleSoulCycle' classes on parked Citi Bikes to the instagram sensation we see today, with over 2.5 million followers.
The Fat Jew says his alter ego was birthed at summer camp. `It came out of a counselor I had who was super fat and identified himself as "a fat Jew".'
Money, Pizza, Respect is the best of his instagram feed (alongside stacks of new material, of course) with a mix of hilarious, heartwarming, and terrifying stories from his life. Read about the time he got drunk with Sharon Stone in Cannes, and how he ended up on a rich Saudi's yacht with a live ostrich. In October 2014, hundreds of fans protested outside instagram's NYC offices when Ostrovsky was kicked off the social media site for the third time for posting `explicit content' - to say Ostrovsky's comedy skews toward the inappropriate is an understatement: this is not for the faint-hearted.
