The Big Bupkis! A Complete Gentile's Guide to Yiddish Vaudeville
The Big Bupkis! is a solo show performed by Shane Baker. It's described as an evening of cheap jokes, magic, ukulele music, hypnotism, unpleasant stories about Sophie Tucker, transvestitism, and a Yiddish bullfight poem, among other theatrical indignities. Giving nothing away, the show ends with Baker attempting to behead a volunteer from the audience. Produced by the New Yiddish Rep, downtown's upstart Yiddish theater, The Big Bupkis! mixes English and Yiddish, with English supertitles projected over the stage.
