Growing up in Chester, Virginia, Slash Coleman felt that part of his Jewish heritage was missing. Finding it – ”the missing triangle ”– is the framework on which he loosely hangs this comedy stand-up routine.
There’s something here for Jew and non-Jew to like – and maybe to be offended by, if that’s your schtick. Slash explains how he got impregnated . . .
And gave birth discretely behind a dark curtain held by an audience volunteer . . .
to – of course – a giant matzo ball.
Audience participation was reluctant the night I attended. When Slash eventually did get someone up on stage they shone, however, like the man who read a funny letter very effectively to great audience applause while Slash changed costumes backstage.
If you hear a groaner – and you just may – hang in there because the next joke is coming quick on its heels.
There’s a happy ending – he eventually finds his missing triangle.
Slash has four more shows at the Warehouse Beyond: tonight, Thursday, at 7; Friday the 25th at 9:30; Saturday the 26th at 5; and Sunday the 27th at 3. For more photos, click here.
