Oy Va Goy in Israel

By: Chas Newkey-Burden On: 2 February 2010

I will be in Israel during the final week of February. I have lots set up and will divide my time between Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Efrat. I might be visiting Sderot, also.

Anyway, I’m coming back, people!

Lucky thing! I’m a newbie here, I love this blog (and your name) and have recommended it to a friend already!

Chas, you asked about comedy in Israel in another post.
There’s a stand-up gig in Jerusalem, run by a guy called David. I’ve spoken to him but can’t recall his details. Nice guy.
Google “Stand up comedy Jerusalem” and you should find it.

And if you go, for heaven’s sake tell us about it! Pleeeeeease!

Jill/Chas – the “comedy guy” is David Kilimnick and the place is the “Off the Wall Comedy Basement”. It’s under the Mashbir on King George Street. Go to: http://www.israelcomedy.com/eindex.html for more info and contact details.

Chas here’s my very special tip for your holiday: buy yourself some Elite creme brulee chocolate. It’s hard to find but so worth it!

Enjoy your visit to Israel, Chas. But be warned, it’s shit cold at the moment (cold in Israeli terms, not in British terms)… hopefully it won’t be by the time you get here, though Jerusalem will probably be freezing anyway. It’s a mountain, it’s a given.
