Jackie Hoffman Chanukah at Joe's Pub
Hmmm, how to describe this show...Racist, Insensitive, Foul-mouthed, Self-deprecating, and hysterically funny.
Calling herself the poor-mans Bette Midler, no, the guy who sleeps under the cardboard box, his Bette Midler, and on and on.
Jokes about how much she hates children, Muslims, her mother, and a few choice songs including the entire history of every Jewish holiday and a show-stopper about all the benefits she has to do (and not get paid for). Funny edgy stuff. Holidays were never meant to be like this, but I am so glad there is someone out there doing it. This is the furthest you can get from the canned music and sentiment of the Rockefeller Center Lighting Of The Tree spectacle. Real vs. Manufactured. I'll take the real any day. Thank you Jackie.
