When Steve Solomon was teaching physics on Long Island, he used humor, dialects, and sound effects to motivate his students. He went on to become an assistant superintendent of schools and then left his academic career behind and turned his attention to what he really loved, making people laugh. The former class clown was turning pro.
“I decided to follow my heart and become an impoverished comedy writer and performer,” he said. His first show, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m in Therapy, became one of the longest-running one-man comedy shows in Broadway history. He’s gone on to write three sequels: My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m STILL in Therapy, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m Home for the Holidays, and his most recent show, Cannoli, Latkes & Guilt…the therapy continues…
An evening spent with the Brooklyn-born Solomon is like being with dozens of hilarious friends and eccentric members of your own family. He has taken the art of impersonation and honed it to a science, masterfully weaving different dialects and crazy characters into his stories. You meet Uncle Willie, Stuttering Cousin Bob, Demented Cousin Kenny, Steve’s new therapist, Cousin Sal and his parole officer and a myriad of astounding characters we know, love and tolerate from our own families. Each is brought to life on stage by Steve Solomon and his gift for creating voice, dialects, and wacky sound effects.
My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m Home for the Holidays...the therapy continues! reminds us of a time of peace and joy - and why you left home in the first place. We get to attend holiday dinner at Grandma’s where, if you’re under 55, you’re allowed to sit at the children’s table and where there are 35 over-fed people and one toilet. For Steve Solomon, “It’s the time of year when we think ‘Peace on Earth, good will towards men,’ ‘Batteries not included,’ and ‘Where’s the plunger?’”
It’s a laugh-filled fest of everybody you know, have known, and some you’d want to forget but can’t, all brought to life on stage by the comic magic of Steve Solomon. After meeting Steve’s family, you’ll leave wondering why more states don’t have capital punishment.
Variety magazine said, “Steve is Alan King, Billy Crystal, a smidgen of Don Rickles, and George Carlin all thrown in.” Regis Philbin called Steve’s work “Hysterically funny.”
Come join Steve at home for the holidays. After all, you’re one of the family.
