Kravitz, Cohen, Bernstein & Me Buy Kravitz-Cohen Tickets

Multi-award-winning Kiwi/Canadian/Jewish comedienne, Deb Filler (Filler Up 2002)
goes on a hilarious musical quest meeting 'The Three Lennys'...
even singing The Beatles in Yiddish!

We're transfixed by "a masterful tour de force” of (mostly) true storytelling....
With only a guitar and a raft of lovable characters, this jam-packed,
deeply humorous show is a love-letter to the Jewish language, music and mentors,
whose empowering influence will linger long after curtain down.

“Magnificent! Dazzing! Stunning!” (Boston Globe)


"Enchantingly intimate, filled with gusto, charm, brilliance, talent and chutzpah...
To miss her would be madness!"
(NZ Herald)

Directed by Sarah-Louise Young (An Evening Without Kate Bush)

(NZ Herald)
'Enchantingly intimate, filled with gusto, charm, brilliance, talent and chutzpah.

(Vancouver Observer)
'What makes her performance so irresistible is her innate mimetic genius her sharp, compassionate observation of people, her instinct for spot-on timing and just-right exaggeration, her amazingly limber facial expression and body language. But, most of all, it’s the unfeigned warmth of her connection with her audience.'

(DC Reviews)
'Deb Filler’s love note to the world wends through near-universal musical touchstones, bawdy humour, the joys (or not) of Yiddish, coincidental connections, and the impact of one important musical figure on the life of her family.’
