OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES to Play 5-Week Run in New Brunswick
Co-created by Peter Gethers and Daniel Okrent, OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES showcases five actors paying homage to and reinventing classic jokes of the past and present. The show also features comic songs - both brand new and satisfyingly old - as well as tributes to some of the giants of the comedy world and to the brilliant raconteurs from OldJewsTellingJokes.com, the web site that inspired the show. If you have ever had a mother, visited a doctor, or walked into a bar with a priest, a rabbi and a frog, OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES will sit in the dark, give you a second opinion and ask where you got that.
The show the New York Times called "hilarious...magnificent, enduring rhythm of Jewish humor" promises to be an outrageous evening of bawdy one-liners, double-entendres and hysterical routines sure to triple you over with laughter! It is definitely recommended for adult audiences (17+) only.
