  • Join Jewish Comedians Rachel Creeger & Philip Simon for their comedy podcast, a chat show about all things Jewish, produced by Russell Balkind. This week we're putting out a sort of holding episode reflecting on life as a British Jew since the terrorist attacks of 7th October in which over 1200 Israelis were killed and more than 200 hostages taken by Hamas. It's the day that marked the start of a conflict that has claimed thousands of innocent lives, and affected Jewish people around the world.


    We aren't political, that's never what the show was meant to be, but we are a podcast that explores Judaism and our relationship with everything associated with that. This episode marks where we are 100 days on from that atrocious day in which, for so many people, everything changed.

    Mara Wilson

    Mara is an American actress and writer, most noted for her roles in Hollywood blockbusters Mrs. Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street and Matilda. After appearing in a series of guest roles in numerous TV series, Mara Wilson retired from acting to pursue a writing career. Her play ‘Sheeple’ was produced in 2013 for the New York International Fringe Festival. Throughout her career, she has been nominated for, and won, several awards, including the Young Star Award for her performance in the film ‘Matilda’ and the Showest Award in 1995 for Young Star of the Year. Lately Mara has mainly enjoyed a career in voiceovers, including playing a recurring voice role in the animated series ‘BoJack Horseman’ and appearing in various web series.


    She is also the author of two books: 

    ‘Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame’

    A former child actor, Mara has always felt a little young and out of place: as the only kid on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house full of boys, a Valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California, and a grown-up the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place, to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer “cute” enough for Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity. 

    Good Girls Don’t

    A coming-of- age memoir that bravely examines both the friendships Wilson formed as a child actor in Hollywood and the complex family relationships that shaped her.

    When Mark was six, his mother took him in to Manhattan every weekend for singing and ballet lessons. When he returned to school each Monday and showed his fellow Bronx classmates what he had learned, the class would gather around and beat him up. Mark’s mother smartened up and enrolled him in karate lessons, but those came to a halt when the karate teacher beat him up. When Mark was twelve, his parents took him to a nightclub. There, live on stage was Rodney Dangerfield doing his act. At that moment, he knew the path he had to follow. Mark has headlined in all the major casinos and clubs across the country and has appeared many times on both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with David Letterman. He has had both HBO and Showtime specials and has been the featured act at the Montreal Comedy Festival. He has written for and guest-starred on Mad About You, as well as appearing on Empty Nest and serving as a writer on The Roseanne Show. He joins us in the middle of touring with Seinfeld.

    Several years ago, SK Shlomo hit a rough patch.


    10 years deep into a colourful career, they were an acclaimed beatboxer, a celebrated theatre performer and a well-respected collaborator with the likes of Björk, Gorillaz, Imogen Heap and Rudimental. They had become the first ever World Looping Champion, brought Ed Sheeran onstage as their guest at Glastonbury, been the first non-classical Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre, and even been the subject of a feature film. But something had shifted. In the midst of a deep depression, they stopped performing. Shlomo spent almost two years off the road, recovering what had felt lost. 


    After a powerful comeback tour, a series of personal revelations changed the way that Shlomo viewed themselves and their work. Shlomo touches on themes they have never previously shared in public, queerness, gender, being foreign, disability and mental health and, ultimately, the healing power of rave.

After racking up millions of views across Tiktok, Youtube & Instagram plus appearances on Spicks and Specks, The Melbourne International Comedy Fest Galas (ABC), Celebrity Letters & Numbers (SBS) and in the UK, Channel 4 & BBC’s You’re Fired, Kaye is now the danger man to watch on the scene. Backed by his band The Close Contacts, Reuben’s unmissable live shows have sold out in Australia, London and Europe, gleefully  proving that he is the much needed, Swarovski studded revolt against the ever narrowing views of an increasingly conservative world and he’s done it all while looking fabulous!

    Leah Forster is an internationally renowned character comic and stand up. Coming from a Hassidic background, Leah was a pioneer in performing comedy at Jewish women's events, selling out shows for thousands. Having grown up in a Yiddish speaking ultra-orthodox family, following a traditional path into marriage and motherhood, she came out of the Hassidic world and the closet, whilst maintaining a warm relationship with her family and community. She came to public attention after a controversial incident where a Kosher Certification authority threatened to cancel venues’ licensing for hosting her show, citing her sexuality.
