A century after his famed Jewish comedian great-grandfather, David Rose explores identity, legacy & comedy’s meaning.
About this Event

My great grandfather was a world-famous Jewish comedian in the early 20th century.

He was known to the public as 'Our Hebrew Friend' and performed at the Royal Variety Show and on the BBC.

A century later, here I am in the same job, asking the same questions.

What does it mean to be a comedian, to be Jewish, and to be both at the same time?

A show about legacy, identity and finding your place in the world.

'Cheekily transgressive... he's an accomplished comic' (Chortle, 2024).
