I was watching TV on a weekday morning when suddenly I was intrigued with a commercial promoting a one-man show in the area doing a limited run at the Kirkland Performance Center. The man who wrote and performs the show is Brad Zimmerman. The show is, My Son, the Waiter, a Jewish Tragedy, and with my fiancé, Brian in mind, I made arrangements to attend the Saturday, September 7 performance.
Zimmerman, 65, had opened for George Carlin and Joan Rivers. (It was ironic that I had seen the TV commercial on the 5th anniversary of her death. I had met Rivers numerous times over the years.)
The show was hysterical and got many laughs. Most impressively, the thunder and lightning storm was evident as we heard the thunder and rain pounding on the roof of the theater. Earlier, I met Brad Zimmerman in the lobby, to discuss the show, his career and his mother.
