  3. My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy


Brad Zimmerman stars his autobiographical hit New York comedy, My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy. This hilarious and poignant story about the journey to follow ones dream and the parents who suffer through it, is universal in its message. Zimmermans tale is about the grit and passion required to make it as an artist and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up!In its seventh year of a national tour, My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy is the story of Zimmermans struggle to fulfill his dream of becoming a comedic actor in New York. One-part standup, one-part theatrical, and all parts uproarious, the show has garnered rave reviews wherever it has played.Brad Zimmerman paid his dues on his quest to stardom. He spent 29 years temporarily waiting tables in New York, all the while chasing a career in acting and comedy. In My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy, he delves into the trials and tribulations of being a server, particularly for someone not exactly invested in the career and with little tolerance for persnickety diners. He also tells stories about the pursuit of his passion, along with tales about childhood, family, and his misbegotten love life. Combining his years of training as an actor with his innate comedic talent, the storytelling is executed with warmth, wit, self-deprecating humor, and wicked charm.Zimmermans perseverance and hard work eventually paid off, and he went on to act. He had a small part in The Sopranos playing Johnny Sacks lawyer, and he has been the opening act for several well-known entertainers, including George Carlin, Brad Garrett, Dennis Miller, Julio Iglesias, and Joan Rivers. My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy, runs from March 17 to April 10. Show times are Thursday at 2 and 7 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
