2019. Jewish Essex. One funeral. Two twins. And a 80-year-old ex-gangster with a plan that's absolutely meshugge.
Malcolm Spivak's had enough. He corners twins Dan and Lauren, fresh from their grandfather's funeral, with a proposition: help him kidnap Jeremy Corbyn. Yes, really. What follows is a chaotic Jewish heist comedy that blends madcap comedy and biting political satire.
Following two sell-out runs at The Yard Theatre in 2025, and Edinburgh Fringe (Summerhall) in 2024 Nick Cassenbaum's (Fringe First winner and Popcorn Writer's Award nominee) explosive five star show, directed by Emma Jude Harris (Stage's Fringe Five 2024), tears through antisemitism in the diaspora, the dangers of collective hysteria, and how far you can throw a jar of chraine from a moving vehicle.

Directed by Emma Jude Harris
