The Wise Men of Chelm
  • Camden Fringe

Have you ever met a Jewish man you havent liked? Dont answer that question. Yaya As... presents hilarious and uncomfortably familiar stories of Jewish men grappling with their masculinity and whether or not to call their mums back. Can you help Aaron prepare for his Bar Mitzvah so he gets a standing ovation? Did you know Jewish Rock is a valid genre of music? Let Mordy, a professional camp counsellor, teach the rules of Jewish summer camp with his guitar, also named Mordy. Just John is an active listener and wants to give you the space to ask him out on a date. These Jewish men will pull at your heartstrings, get you hot and heavy, and teach you a thing or two about feminism. Growing up, Yaya was made to feel that despite their efforts to engage with the religion, there was a holiness and wiseness that only men could achieve. But being left out of the clique allowed Yaya to see the cracks in the rules these men uphold. Through drag, Yaya As... embodies the men theyve known, loved, tolerated and mostly wanted to be.Welcome to Yaya's city of fools, otherwise known as The Wise Men of Chelm.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
