Comedy Showcase: British Comedian Ashley Blaker on Observing Shabbat
Ashley Blaker is an internationally acclaimed British Orthodox comedian, seen and heard on TV and radio across the world. He has performed on five continents including tours of the UK, USA, Canada, South Africa, Israel and Australia.
His five week run Off-Broadway was called ‘a slickly funny stand-up show’ by the New York Times. In August 2018, Ashley made his debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a sold-out run of his show ‘Observant Jew’.
Today we're sharing another one of Ashley Blaker's stand-up routines. In this video, Ashley reflects on Shabbat prohibitions and accepted ways to get around them.
Enjoy!
