| Q: |
What's
Moo-Jew Comedy? |
| A: |
Jewish comedians |
| |
performing at Christmas time |
| |
at a
Chinese Restaurant. |
Has a new Vermont Jewish Christmas time tradition taken hold? Any respectable
Jew would clearly answer, "And why not?"
Ancient Hebrew texts and any Rabbi worth his or her salt will confirm that
Jews have congregated for centuries at Chinese restaurants on Christmas Eve.
Moo-Jew Comedy thus provides comedy in Jews' natural habitat. "Why should
anyone have to schlep to a comedy show, when we can bring it right to
them?" shrugged Lorber.
Non-Jews are welcome to Moo-Jew Comedy, especially loud ones. Worried that
some non-Jewish audience members might miss a joke or two, Lorber has a
plan, "We'll have Jewish interpreters who will shrug after each joke and
say, 'You should have come last year.'"

This year Chanukah, Christmas,
and Moo-Jew Comedy share the same week. We'll be celebrating Chanukah, as
we light the candles. We'll also honor the miracle of Chanukah, when one
night's oil lasted for eight nights. To do that, Moo-Jew Comedy will be
donating a portion of each ticket to
Project Warmth, to bring heat and
comfort to the homes of needy Vermonters.
