MY SON THE WAITER: A
JEWISH TRAGEDY by Carol Kaufman Segal
My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy is a
one man’s story about comedian/actor Brad Zimmerman, written by Brad Zimmerman,
performed by Brad Zimmerman, and all together humorous. Brad has the ability to keep everyone’s
attention with his down-to-earth natural ability to be friendly and also to be very
funny.
In his show,
Brad reveals stories of his family, his childhood, and his pursuit to becoming
an actor and comedian. It is as if he is
telling his story about his life to a gathering of friends, at the same time,
joking about it as well. All during his
twenty-nine years working tables he honed himself for his dream by taking
acting classes. Eventually he became the
opening act for well-known performers that included Joan Rivers, George Carlin,
Brad Garrett, Dennis Miller, and Julio Iglesias. He
also appeared on The Sopranos over
HBO. He spent nine years working on the
script for My Son the Waiter and,
since, has performed his show all over the country. He also performed it at off-Broadway’s Stage
72 (now the Triad Theatre) for two
years.
There are a
lot of jokes about Jewish mother’s bragging about their sons, and though the
jokes can be very comical, there is some truth as to the way Jewish mothers
feel about their progenies. Brad
Zimmerman may have given his mother some concern about where he was going in
life, but after spending twenty-nine years waiting tables, all the while
pursuing his dream as an actor and comedian, she knows she has no reason to be
concerned or less proud. Brad Zimmerman is
certainly not “a Jewish tragedy.” Brad
Zimmerman is a big success!
