My Son the Waiter - A Jewish Tragedy, written by and starring Brad Zimmerman, gives us very dry funny stories of his life. This includes his path to comedy performance as a waiter and playing the waiter and the customers in a very funny and clean delivery. He’s a mocker but always quite likable, and includes as his targets health food, a plane trip and fashion modeling. Some bits are profound, all are funny, with funny physical character moves, among them bits on golf, hairdo, dating, mother, and being bald. Zimmerman is a top-level, mature comedian (I don’t think some of his stories would work if he were younger), so this works very well at his age, and he is, at times, quite moving. I’d love to see him in his own sitcom; he could carry it.
