    My Father's Jewish, My Mother's Italian funny

    by Bzymom53 on 11/19/12Smith Theatre - Buffalo

    This show kept us laughing the whole time...Even though it is a one man show it was highly entertaining....similar to stand up with a little more to it...I would definitely recommend it

    Event Title is Deceiving

    by Mickey1957 on 11/19/12Gordon Center for Performing Arts - Owings Mills

    Since Steve wasn't actally home, but on his way home, the title is misleading. Besides traveling home for the holidays, there wasn't a whole lot of holiday references. Jokes were hit and miss. Some of the sex-related material I could have done without.

    Expected More Holiday Humor

    by Mylanzi on 11/18/12Gordon Center for Performing Arts - Owings Mills

    This play is mis-titled. Very little of the performance was about family holiday gatherings which is what we expected based on the title. It was a missed opportunity to poke fun at all the idiosynchracies of extended family gatherings. Instead much of the humor was sex-related -- was funny, but again not what you expect based on the show title. It's a one man show and the actor was skilled and talented.

    not that funny

    by marylandguy on 11/17/12Gordon Center for Performing Arts - Owings Mills

    As seen in a number of other reviews the play was a one person stand up. It plays for an audience over 60. The jokes and topics were ones that most people have heard play out over the years. If you watch stand up on TV you will be disappointed in this show. If you havent seen stand up very much you will get some laughs. The humor is the typical pokes at Italian and Jewish backgrounds, tough guy, eat a lot Italian, complaining, older Jewish jokes

    Sitting in the living room, swapping stories

    by Happycamper33 on 11/16/12Gordon Center for Performing Arts - Owings Mills

    Steve Solomon is a true comedic genius. He is a master story teller, unlike any other comedic personality today, and his stories are those of real people, real families, and real situations. Somehow, he manages to find a nerve in every member of the audience as he talks about his family and their personalities. The two hour show was a constant laugh riot. Sitting in the sudience, I laughed for the entire time (until it hurt) and left with a huge smile on my face. Both of Mr. Solomon's shows are can't miss events.

    My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm Home

    by Brooks34 on 11/16/12Gordon Center for Performing Arts - Owings Mills

    Disappointing and overpriced.. Expected a play and received stand up comedy which had very little to do with either the holidays or combining 2 different cultures. My bad for not seeking out reviews before ordering the tickets.

    My Mother's Italian

    by getterap on 11/13/12Smith Theatre - Buffalo

    This was a very funny one man play, however some of the jokes were really predictable and some were just old and stale. The delivery was great and that made up for the bad jokes, and the new jokes were excellent.

    Lots of laughs

    by Anonymous on 11/13/12Smith Theatre - Buffalo

    Never stopped laughing! We could relate to the family members he spoke about.

    Funny, but i didn't realize it was a one man skit.

    by Serialquilter on 11/12/12Smith Theatre - Buffalo

    I enjoyed myself and laughed a fair bit, but I like multiple people in a skit, that's just me. thought it was a little pricey when you can see well known comedians for the same price or less.

    My Mother's Italian was hilarious

    by TRK52 on 11/12/12Smith Theatre - Buffalo

    We laughed from start to finish. Very entertaining. We were slightly disappointed because we thought it was going to be a play, but it was a great show. I would recommend to anyone.
