Kung Pao Kosher Comedy - Jewish comedy on Christmas in a Chinese
Restaurant (where else?) is celebrating its bar/bat mitzvah this year.
Kung Pao answers the age-old question, "What are Jews supposed to do
on Christmas?" What started out as a joke has become an institution
in San Francisco (and has been written up in newspapers around the
country), giving 3000 escapees of "Christmas-mania" of all
persuasions an alternative to Jingle Bells and The Nutcracker.
This year's comics:
-Headliner: Wendy Liebman (David Letterman, The Tonight Show, Comic
Relief) -Betsy Salkind (The Tonight Show, writer for Roseanne)
-Lisa Geduldig (Your hostess/producer)
-Gregg Rogell (Comedy Central, The Nanny, The Aristocrats)
In keeping with the tradition of "tzedakah" (charity), each year Kung
Pao donates partial proceeds to two outstanding organizations and
causes we believe in. This year's recipients are the creation of the
weekly "Esther Weintraub Comedy Clinic" for elderly residents at The
Jewish Home AND "Clowns Without Borders" providing laughter to kids
in areas of crisis.
-Dinner Shows (7-course Chinese banquet): $60
-Cocktail Show (Vegie egg rolls): $40)
