It’s never been easy being a Jew, but after 91 years, Forest can laugh about it. And so will the audience, as shhe gives us her uncensored take on being a Jew in America, with stories, songs and plenty of jokes. The world may be in a tragic place right now, but Forest’s definitely not. Tragedy? Schmadgedy! Let’s laugh about it!
Critics have called D’yan everything from “saucy,” “witty,” “irrepressible,” and a “naughty version of Betty White. ” She has performed on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “France’s Got Talent,” and has had notable performances in New York, Paris, London, Israel, Edinburgh and even Ethiopia. If there’s a stage, chances are she’s been on it. She has been featured in The New York Times, Time Out NY, New York Post and The Guardian.
Tickets are $30 (inclusive of advance phone/web service fee). There is a 2 drink or 1 food item minimum, per person.
Joe’s Pub/The Public Theater is located at 425 Lafayette Street (At Astor Place), NYC
