Chinese Food and Jewish Comics (Or Not)
So I braved the rain and went to “Ha Ha Hanukkah” (Chinese food and Jewish comics on Christmas Eve) out in the Valley tonight. It was fun, but the crowd was a wee bit older than what we expected (read: my friend and I were the only two people there without current AARP cards). I’m a little confused and not quite sure what happened–we were under the impression it was going to be young people, not bubbes and zadies! Anyway, there were a bunch of comics, the majority of them Jewish men. Their sets were fun, albeit a little edited and toned down because of the surprise average age of the audience. One comic caught my eye (and apparently I caught his) and a phone number was asked for and given. Of course, as luck would have it, he’s the one non-Jew of the bunch. Leave it to me to go to a Jewish comedy night and meet a goy. Mom’s gonna love that one.
