Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad is a refreshing mix of comedy, music, spoken-word and show-stopping burlesque, featuring the gals who learned to smoke at Hebrew School, got drunk at their Bat-Mitzvahs and would rather have more schtuppa than the chupah, featuring performers seen on Comedy Central, HBO and Late Night TV. These badass chosen chicks boldly dare to deconstruct years of tradition, expectations and guilt in a fast-paced vaudeville extravaganza. It’s ain’t yo’ mama’s Fiddler!
After cruising the US for 6 years, last year Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad opened at The Zipper Theater in NYC with a brand new show which received rave reviews - 3 stars- NY Post, Backstage called it “a spontaneous party” and the Village Voice said it was “super fun.” This rendition of mishagas on wheels was directed by Michael Baron (Signature Theater, DC) and choreographed by Jessi Erian (Urban Bush Women and Adira Amram’s The Experience). It’s Faster Pussycat in the Borscht Belt, “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” gets remixed, Tumbalaika gets a makeover and we all find out what’s in Gefilte Fish. It’s “Fear Factor” for Jews, although you don’t have to be Jewish to love these broads.
Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad features a rotating cast of comedians Ophira Eisenberg (Comedy Central), Shawn Pelofsky (E!, Comics Unleashed) and kicks provided by Sister Schmaltz, Klezmer punk and funk by our house band, The Four Skins and hosted by queen of the quick change, The Goddess Perlman (Last Comic Standing).Audiences can’t get enough of these wayward girls!
