Description

Naomi Paul’s (mostly) Jewish show! From the Baltic to Birmingham, from shamash to shellfish, to Hendon and beyond. How do we fit in? How do we belong? With original stories, humour and songs. What’s not to like? 'It’s as much an entertaining look at Britain today as it is the past that shaped us' **** (BritishTheatreGuide.info, 2023). 'The inclusion of original written music made this show a stand out... interesting and thought provoking' (Audience review, 2023). 'There is a warm, conversational shape to the show with a fine sensitivity to the audience' (BritishTheatreGuide.info, 2023).

I agree with previous reviews. Nothing spectacular but homely and thoroughly enjoyable.

As soon as we set foot into the show and Naomi Paul began her stories we lovely, fun and held many fond memories in which she shared with the audience and included some very fun songs about cooking and more and so very proud of her Jewish heritage too and why not as Naomi is a born entertainer with great stories and she does give the audience upliftment as she entertains and her show also gives time to think and reflect
To Fringe goers do not miss this great show performed by one remarkable woman and for us this deserves a well earned 5 star rating

I loved this show. Naomi's comic timing, stage presence, and lightness with her material kept my attention throughout and allowed all the varied emotions of the content to speak deeply to me. She didn't falter. I wanted to hear more. As relevant today as it was in her childhood and a skilful call for greater relational understanding, care - and delight - in our fabulously mixed society. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed this beautifully crafted show today - with anecdotes, songs and gentle humour. We return to watch Naomi every year at the Fringe and her shows never disappoint!

Wonderful, insightful and very enjoyable show, I loved the style of the presentation. It brought to life and important part of our recent history.

Funny, poignant and nostalgic show on being a first generation Jew in a new country, Britain in the case of the author and Argentina in my wife's and my own case. All our experiences are similar in nature, with local variations. By extension, it also represents the migation experience of all etnic groups from any country. Highly recommended.

They May Have Even Eaten Ham (*****)

A beautiful comical journey of an immigrants family to finding themselves in a new country full of new cultures and customs. Filled with comedic monologues and songs Naomi truly captures the audiences heart from the first moments until the end (where we even get to sing along). A unique and absolute gem. Don’t miss this 45 minute joy of a show.
