For anyone on Instagram, The Fat Jew (@thefatjewish) is pretty much essential-following: hilarious posts several times a day, which are laugh-out-loud-funny. Money, Pizza, Respect is a loosely autobiographical account of how Josh 'The Fat Jew' Ostrovsky went from teaching homeless people 'SoulCycle' classes on parked Citi Bikes to the Instagram sensation we know 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.

Born and bred in New York City, Josh 'The Fat Jew' Ostrovsky's overbearing mother entered him into 'the biz' as an 8-year old with exquisite cheekbones and the singing voice of an angel. He appeared in a plethora of television commercials and after his child acting career fizzled, Ostrovskytook 20 years away from the limelight to focus on school and hard drugs, eventually receiving his MFA in pottery at Middlebury College. With an army of followers on social media (3.8 million on Instagram) that often border on fanatical and creepy, Ostrovsky is a rising star whose back-up plan is to marry Suri Cruise when she's of legal consenting age. His Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog Toast (also a social media sensation with 220k followers on Instagram, @toastmeetsworld), has recently made it as the starof sunglasses designer Karen Walker's Spring/Summer 2015 advertising campaign.
