Josh Womack & Cleveland Schvitz

Joshua Womack, author of Sweaty Stories from the Cleveland Schvitz (History Press, 2025) will discuss the book on Tuesday, November 11th at 6 pm.

In Cleveland, there's a place where sweat, steak and friendship collide. Tucked away on a dead-end road in the once-bustling area of Kinsman, the Schvitz is where men have come for decades to let it all hang out. Wrapped in towels and mystery, this nondescript, utilitarian building has captured the hearts and pores of many. There's a lot of questions around the Schvitz. Is it just a Jewish thing? Why is it where it is? Why do men (and now, more recently, women) love this place?

Josh is a copywriter and author of two other books, including You Are Not That Funny: Stories from Cleveland Stand-Up.
