Circumcise Me followed by Comic Daniel Packard

Summary

"Is it hot in here or am I the only one dressed for Poland in the 17th century?"  Yisrael Campbell looks more like a rabbi than a comedian, but don't be fooled by the big black hat, frock coat and Hasidic side-curls. Born Chris Campbell, the son of an ex-nun and a Catholic schoolteacher, he converted to Judaism not once, but three times - Reform, Conservative and Orthodox. Circumcise Me questions the place and purpose of comedic entertainment, asking what it is okay to joke about and what should be off-limits. It is a hilarious, searching and moving story of one man's quest for spiritual enlightenment against the bewildering backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.   And you never will look at a Chanukah candle the same way again...
