My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy and Still Not Famous
As Brad Zimmerman celebrated the 10th Anniversary of his Hit New York comedy, My Son The Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy, he created a brand New Show: My Son The Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy & STILL Not Famous!
Actor/Comedian Brad Zimmerman’s hilarious and inspiring story about the grit and passion required to “make it” as an artist and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up on your dream. Brad moved to New York City and “temporarily” waited tables for 29 years, while continuing to pursue his dream of comedic acting. He never gave up, and many years later, after opening for Joan Rivers, Brad Garrett, and the famed George Carlin, his Off Broadway Hit Show is as profound as it is entertaining.
Enjoy a different hilarious look at his long journey to follow his dream of success in show business, & the parents who suffered through it!
