Killing My Lobster’s The Whole Megillah

Killing My Lobster’s The Whole Megillah

By

Purim is a long and glorious tradition. Celebrated with drinking. Lots and lots of drinking. Also, berating the prunes and poppy seeds that inexplicably crop up in otherwise edible cookies. Award-winning comedy group Killing My Lobster tackles this Jewish holiday of joy and hangovers in The Whole Megillah.


Among the deftly ridiculous scenarios: a music video expressing the festering hatred certain members of the Jewish faith feel toward hamantaschen (the aforementioned prune cookies), Apple’s latest contribution to technology and hipster credit card debt (called the iJew), and a retelling of The Book of Esther - if Esther and her cohorts had a propensity for dressing in drag. Once labeled “an orgy of comic genius” by Comedy Central, Killing My Lobster now takes on Judaism and those damn prunes. 

March 17-19. Jewish Theatre, 470 Florida Street. Tickets are $15-20 at 415-292-1233.
