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!

“Delicious! Distinctly original… powerfully poignant.” “Great Comedy!”

-The New York Times
“You’ll laugh your tuchas off!”
– Huffington Post
“I’ve had three great opening acts in my lifetime: Billy Crystal, Garry Shandling, and Brad Zimmerman.”
– Joan Rivers
“A MUST SEE. It’s HYSTERICAL, HEARTFELT, TIMELY and POIGNANT. I cried, I laughed, I forgot where I parked.”
– Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond)
“Like Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays.”
– Jewish Week
