The off-Broadway comedy revue OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES will be making New Brunswick, NJ, audiences laugh 'til they plotz when the hit show comes to George Street Playhouse for a five-week run starting December 2, 2015, and ending January 3, 2016.

Co-created by Peter Gethers and Daniel Okrent, OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES showcases five actors paying homage to and reinventing classic jokes of the past and present. The show also features comic songs - both brand new and satisfyingly old - as well as tributes to some of the giants of the comedy world and to the brilliant raconteurs from OldJewsTellingJokes.com, the web site that inspired the show. If you have ever had a mother, visited a doctor, or walked into a bar with a priest, a rabbi and a frog, OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES will sit in the dark, give you a second opinion and ask where you got that.

The show the New York Times called "hilarious...magnificent, enduring rhythm of Jewish humor" promises to be an outrageous evening of bawdy one-liners, double-entendres and hysterical routines sure to triple you over with laughter! It is definitely recommended for adult audiences (17+) only.

Showtimes at George Street Playhouse, in the heart of New Brunswick's vibrant downtown dining and entertainment district, are Wednesdays at 7 p.m., Thursdays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tickets range from $45.00 to $65.00 and can be purchased by calling 732-246-7717 or visiting www.PlayhouseInfo.com. Groups of 12 or more may call Marla at 1-888-264-1788.
