My Son the Waiter, a Jewish Tragedy Filled with Hilarious Insight Featured

Brad Zimmerman's one-man show is a one-man wonder. My Son the Waiter, A Jewish Tragedy currently being performed at the Northshore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, takes the audience on a whimsical and hilarious adventure discussing the many common characteristics of what growing up in a Jewish family is like through Zimmerman's eyes. 

 

Brad started his career early in life and worked at a few restaurants to help feed his acting dream before making it to the big screen. His short and memorable serving jobs evidently gave him the brilliant storyline he's presented in the show. He touches briefly on his time on The Sopranos and focuses more on the expectations his family, mostly his mother, set for him in life.

 

Zimmerman had the entire audience captivated with the conversational approach in his show. The laughter filled the theatre and there was not a dry eye when Zimmerman discussed his father and what he meant to him during the early time in his life. This hour long, solo show is a hidden gem. I'd recommend My Son the Waiter, A Jewish Tragedy to anyone who wants to have a great laugh and allow themselves to delve into the dry sarcastic humor Zimmerman blesses his audience with.

 

My Son the Waiter, A Jewish Tragedy is being performed at Northshore Center for the Performing Arts through August 7th. For more show information and tickets, visit www.northshorecenter.org
