“King Davids” win some, lose most

A frequent contributor to our blog, Celia Soudry, attended the “King Davids of Comedy” show last week and had this to report:

Shuffling through the crowd at the ” target=”_blank”>Dan Rosenberg took the stage, and we soon realized that there was nothing funny about his shpeil. Self-deprecating and Jew-bashing Rosenberg made stereotypical jokes about cheap Jews getting half-off coupons to come to the show. The crowd was mixed with older folks as well as young people, and there was an unfulfilled desire for authentic Jewish humor, not just the obvious jabs.

Rosenberg then brought politics into the mix, which wasn’t the best idea after delivering such offensive remarks. “You know, Obama is half Jewish right? Half white, half black, half Jewish, half off,” he said.

After a few more dry comics bored us, grossed us out, and almost killed the high-energy mood of the night, a couple of hilarious performers emerged, Nick Thune and ” target=”_blank”>Lahna Turner ranted about her mullet-clad vagina screaming racial slurs.  Describing her obese husband, she said, “fatties are great because you never know what you’re going to find. I found a penny once under his titty.” Receiving limited laughs, she begged the audience to cut her some slack.

The Improv saved the best for last with ” target=”_blank”>Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical, disaster, and blood bank service.

And that’s no laughing matter.
