The UK’s only strictly orthodox Jewish stand-up comedian Ashley Blaker will be taking his hilarious new show ASHLEY BLAKER: STRICTLY UNORTHODOX (the first-ever stand-up show about life as a charedi / strictly orthodox Jew)across the United States this winter, with a stop in Washington, DC on February 10, at Sixth & I, 600 I St NW.
Ashley Blaker is quite possibly the most successful stand-up comedian you’ve never heard of. He is an internationally acclaimed comedian who, with his black suit, white shirt, beard, large skullcap and sidelocks is the only strictly orthodox stand-up in the UK. In STRICTLY UNORTHODOX, he’ll hilariously take on why Jewish holidays are so different to everyone else’s, how orthodox Jews manage in the workplace when they cannot shake hands with people of the opposite sex and why Jews around the world are just downright obsessed with sushi. His routine on bad driving and awful parking has audiences uproarious with laughter.
Mr. Blaker is fresh off the heels of having performed a five-week, 35 performance Off-Broadway run that was raved about by The New York Times, New York Post and Fox News. He has previously performed two sell-out tours of the UK (Ungefiltered and Meshuga Frum)to great acclaim and toured his comedy across Israel, South Africa and Canada as well. When he started performing in the USA, it was in a sold-out run at New York’s Gramercy Theatre. He has also performed a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Previous to starting stand-up, he was a producer and writer for TVand radio and is most famous for unleashing Little Britain on the UK masses. He has also worked with Matt Lucas on And The Winner Is (BBC Radio 2), The Matt Lucas Awards (BBC One), Rock Profile and Pompidou (BBC 2). Black Hat Productions (Ashley’s production company) is currently making several new series for BBC Radio 4. He attended high school with Matt Lucas and Sacha Baron Cohen and has worked alongside some of the biggest names in British comedy such as John Oliver, James Corden, Russell Brand, Graham Norton, Michael McIntyre and many more. His debut solo radio show Ashley Blaker’s Goyish Guide to Judaism aired in May 2018 on BBC Radio 4. He will soon be touring Australia.
Whether secular or religious, you don’t want to miss Ashley’s hysterical take on what it means to be STRICTLY UNORTHODOX.
