David Rose
Our Hebrew Friend
My great grandfather was a world-famous Jewish comedian in the early 20th century.
He was known to the public as 'Our Hebrew Friend' and performed at the Royal Variety Show and on the BBC.
A century later, here I am in the same job, asking the same questions.
What does it mean to be a comedian, to be Jewish, and to be both at the same time?
A show about legacy, identity and finding your place in the world.
'Cheekily transgressive... he's an accomplished comic' (Chortle, 2024).
