Old Jews Telling Jokes Tickets

Old Jews telling Jokes ; was very well put on , when you consider that it is only 5 actors, on it goes continuously for 90 minutes. There were some good laughs , well timed and would recommend it for adults , it does get slightly raw at times .

Enjoyed the production, but did not think it was worth the price.

I laughed until I cried! Fabulous. I enjoyed people watching in the audience ALMOST as much as the show.

The ensemble cast was wonderful and most of the jokes funny-even for Gentiles. But with prices including all the fees winding up at $67 pp-it was steep. Wish we'd waited for Goldstar. The venue is great-love the royal George Theater, very few bad seats in the house.

I have seen this show more than once. Every time it seems funnier. Through jokes and story telling, the show traces from birth to death Gene Weygandt’s character from a Jewish perspective, although the humor is really simply very human. Yes, the language is for adult ears - and no problem with that! The actors add additional sparks to the jokes and stories by putting them into skits assisted by a roving video screen! Add to that 3 or 4 musical numbers (including one song by genius satirist Tom Lehrer). I don’t want to give everything away, that you’ll need to experience for yourself!

Funny show - actors did a good job. Very reminiscent of the Buddy Hacket, Alen King era (I loved the video of Alen!) A bit off color - but not too bad (again - this was like their live acts back then). I think the Jesus bit would offend most non-Jews, though. I would caution non-Jews that they may not follow all the references to Jewish sayings/words.

Laughed at 75% of the jokes and gags. Only complaint was that it was 80 minutes long. Should have been around 2 hours.

The play was just OK. I did laugh, but sone of the jokes fell flat as well. There were too many references to sex as well.

An excellent comedian tells unforgettable jokes by not using potty mouth everyday words. The Jewish comedians of old provided us with class acts that insinuated certain things without the "dirt." While there are a few good laughs, there are also many groans. Those need to be smoothed out and eliminated for a classier act. BTW, many of the jokes I heard on stage? I heard them already. Maybe we can watch more of the Alan King videos!

I thought the cast was quite talented vocally, and with their comedic timing. Some of the jokes have been circulating on the internet for years. As judging collectively by the audience reaction at the Thursday matinee, there was not huge amounts of laughter, which was my expectation going in. I believe I was somewhat entertained for the hour I was there. I now know why front row sets were available.....my group complained of neck pain/strain from having to look up for the entire performance.

Sorry, but this perofrmance barely had me chuckle. Most of the jokes were old.

The show was entertaining. Some funny jokes. Few new jokes. Adult entertainment.

Me and my shiksa wife went and laughed the entire time. You do not need to be Jewish to enjoy this lighthearted show! This is not really a 'play' so much as a bunch of one-liners on the stages of life. There are some jokes about Jewish culture but many of them just substitute jewish names for very funny jokes. Do not bring kids, some jokes are definely for mature audiences only. But its a good time and there are no bad seats in the theater.

I thought this show was outstanding. I would go see it again

We loved it. Every joke got a laugh because they were told with new oomph and feeling.. Even the ones we heard before.deserved a laugh. Highly recommended.

A truly hilarious ninety minutes. Great cast including local favorites Tim Kazurinsky from SNL and Gene Weygant, who played the Wizard in the Broadway production of Wicked. Some of the jokes are classics so you've heard some of them before but with this fabulous cast and their fantastic timing you'll still be roaring. Some of the jokes are off color but at the Sunday matinee we were at the audience could have been called "Old Jews Laughing Their Asses Off". So not for kids. A truly fun time.

What a great time we had when we went to Old Jews Telling Jokes. We were up for a good laugh, and we were not disappointed. Great actors and a very entertaining evening. We'd will definitely go back when in Chicago.

This was so disappointing. Didn't laugh once. Feel like I got robbed. Total waste of an evening. Save your money and go elsewhere.

This was probably the worst show and biggest waste of my time an money that I ever have seen, done, attended. We looked at eachother as we were leaving and wondered how they could actually charge money---- and not cheap money --- for something so bad. We didn't laugh at all..... not once. And we had high hopes even after reading some of the previous reviews. Kazurinsky usually is pretty good, but he just stole my money. Lamest show I have ever..... EVER..... been to.

The performers were all very talented- nothing bad to say about them. However, it seemed like a stand up show of one-liners that I have heard over & over throughout the years. Its hard to really laugh at a joke Ive heard 15 times & read it various times too through email jokes & Facebook. Its ok to see the show if you get it at a DEEP discount & are not busy that eve. But for $75, absolutely NOT. Thats why the balcony was completely empty on a sat night.
