Jack Felman is a medical doctor in general practice in Melbourne, Australia. He has
been writing and performing comedy for 30 years. Twenty years ago he created
the Bubba, everyone's favorite Jewish grandmother, a character who loves to give unwanted advice and who is well known to
Melbourne and Sydney audiences. In this segment she (he) carries on about wedding gowns, brides, collagen and botox injections.
It seems that Australian comics have dual careers. We give a tip of the kippah to Robert Weil whom we profiled in October 2010 -- a Melbourne businessman who does his comedy shtick at weddings in the persona of Rabbi Mordy Katz, and who brought the Bubba to our attention. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteEvery stereotype in the BOOK--that is the BOOK in1940! This is NOT the current example of a 2012 Grandmother! Thank-G-d woman dont act like this anymore..I have a fabulous sense of humor--and I find this to be a REAL turn-off..and patronizing...I couldn't even watch it all the way thru...it turned me off so much!! Sorry..M.A.
ReplyDeleteI guess I am a little older than anonymous, but I thought Jack was on target and it was so funny.
ReplyDeleteAs someone in her 70,s, I could easily identify with this! I thought is was on target and funny. If we can.t laugh at oneself than we are on trouble.
