He's just your average Irish, Italian, Catholic, American, recovering alcoholic, Reform Jew, Conservative Jew, Orthodox Jew, husband, father of four, comedian. An extraordinary story by comedian Yisrael Campbell about his incredible life across four decades, two continents and three circumcisions. It's that rare collision of comedy and theatre with women howling, men squirming, and everyone standing up to cheer. 'Yisrael Campbell is the funniest Roman Catholic Orthodox Jewish comedian in the world' (Stephen Colbert). 'A tale well told... plenty of laughs' (NY Times). 'A pitch-perfect blend of genuine sentiment and hilarious one-liners' (NY Post).

More details
Circumsize Me tells the true story of Yisrael Campbell, (born Christopher Campbell) - your average Irish, Italian, Catholic kid from Philly, who became a sober alcoholic, husband, father of four, Reform Jew, Conservative Jew, Orthodox Jew, Jewish comic actor living in Jerusalem. Okay, maybe not so average.
Yisrael's tale takes him from teenage alcoholism to his search for life's answers in an increasingly religious life to freaking out about his baby daughter's poop schedule. Hilarious detailed. Poignantly rendered. And so much more.
It's his life story through four decades, two continents and three circumcisions. You won't hear a story like his anywhere else on The Fringe.
"Three circumcisions isn't a religious covenant, it's a fetish." - Yisrael Campbell
