New Zealand Herald:

“Deb Filler takes us on the international odyssey of a hard-working comedian who is eternally searching for a better gig and somehow finds her soul in a Fort Lauderdale retirement village. The journey highlights Filler’s remarkable oral gymnastics that see her creating an ever-expanding multitude of characters who are all instantly identified by their accents or their mannerisms.

Equally impressive is the story-telling talent by which chance encounters and the most mundane details are transformed into hilarious anecdotes that slowly coalesce into a compelling narrative. The international road-trip treats us to a number of fascinating diversions. After an amusing debate between a producer with an eye for the bottom line and an artist trying to protect her integrity, our hero is lured to Miami on the promise of a lucrative contract. Here Filler is unable to spot the difference between people’s faces and their crocodile-skin handbags. She finds herself performing to an ever-diminishing audience suffering from Alzheimer’s and chronic flatulence. But it is in this unlikely setting that the show reaches its life-affirming epiphany. Although there is little overtly Jewish humour, the interns of Florida’s gated communities begin to resemble the peasants of an East European shtetl, with bitterly ironic self-deprecation, and the self-fulfilling expectation of disappointment. Inspired by the words of an ancient fellow comedian, Filler discovers that her dream of the perfect comedy venue can be realised in the immediate here-and-now interaction with her audience.

Perfectly pitched delivery of an explosively funny punch-line, the show concludes with a Yiddish rendition of Joe Cocker’s Feeling Alright that will melt the heart of the stoniest critic.”
