Komt een paard de kroeg binnen

Posted on 06 March 2017 by David Grossman

In een zaaltje op een industrieterrein ten noorden van Tel Aviv staat de kleine, bebrilde stand upcomedian Dov Grinstein op het toneel Elke keer dat het hem niet lukt het publiek aan het lachen te krijgen, slaat hij zichzelf schrikbarend hard in het gezicht Als het publiek begint te morren, spreekt een kleine vrouw de zaal toe vanaf de eerste rij.Zij leerde Dov kennen als kind toen was hij een beetje vreemd, maar hij was de enige die haar niet pestte Door haar verhaal neemt Dovs optreden een persoonlijke wending Hij vertelt over zijn vader Chezkel kapper en handelaar in namaak Levi s en moeder Sara kampoverlevende , en zegt dat hij vroeger op zijn handen liep om zijn droevige moeder aan het lachen te krijgen.Het publiek wil moppen, maar Dov gaat verder met zijn eigen levensverhaal Als tiener werd hij op een dag weggeroepen uit het premilitaire trainingskamp, omdat een van zijn ouders was overleden Niemand vertelde hem wie er dood was, en tijdens de rit naar Jeruzalem bedenkt hij van wie hij het erger zou vinden Hij zet plusjes en minnetjes achter zijn vader en zijn moeder en vindt zichzelf daarom een klootzak Daar krijgt hij wel applaus voor, van de laatste drie mensen in de zaal.

dysfunctional nation of Israel and its people, where the political is heartbreakingly personal The narrative covers two hours of a middle aged stand up comic s routine, albeit an unusual one wher...I am not a big fan of stand up comedy Even though there are many funny moments in such performances, I find most of the jokes crass and overtly sexual and the comedian is in such a tizzy most of the time to get the audience to laugh, he seems to work at being funny which, IMO, makes it evenunfunny The only thing missing is the laugh track.But consider for a moment the comedian, t...Everyone knows that successful stand up routines are laughs at the expense of grief, or embarrassment, or pain of some kind The laughing picks a sore and in many cases, starts the healing The novel length comedy routine given by Dovaleh Greenstein one night in a worn down beach town is unique The night of the performance is his birthday He will be fifty seven He will give a one of a kind, career ending show

created very high expectations, and for me it never came close to fulfilling them The central portrait of a stand up comedian Doveleh Greenstein, giving a final performance in which he abandons jokes
