Ivor Dembina
Daniel Kitson is compering a benefit that has been hastily arranged to raise money to provide humanitarian aid for those who are and have been stuck in the Calais Jungle migrants’ camp. It is at the Old Vic in London on October 13.
What is it that makes Jewish humour simultaneously so Jewish and so universal? Ivor Dembina's show at the Albany, Old Jewish Jokes, provides some clues. The show takes a simple premise: at a charity gig for a synagogue some years ago, Dembina was asked not to do any material about a) the holocaust, b) religion, c) sex, d) money and e) Israel, which left him with pretty much nothing: so this set features all the jokes he didn't do.
London’s Jewish comedy community appears to have split into two sides. According to a story in the Jewish Chronicle Ivor Dembina, who always stages a Jewish Xmas Eve Show, told other comedians that he would not book them if they performed at the Jewish National Fund’s Kosher Komedy Night.
