On this episode of Baring It All with Call Me Adam, on the Broadway Podcast Network, I am recording at The Houdini Museum in NYC with Director Carl Andress, whose long time collaboration with Tony nominee Charles Busch is continuing at the Cherry Lane Theatre with Charles' hilarious new show The Confession of Lily Dare, running through March 5. The Confession of Lily Dare is part of Primary Stages 35th Anniversary Season. The Confession of Lily Dare tells the story of one woman’s tumultuous passage from convent girl to glittering cabaret chanteuse to infamous madame of a string of brothels—all while hiding her undying devotion to the child she was forced to abandon. This comic melodrama celebrates the gauzy “confession film” tearjerkers of early 1930s pre-code cinema, such as The Sin of Madelon Claudet, Frisco Jenny, and Madame X. The Confession of Lily Dare will play at The Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce Street) through March 5. Click here for tickets! The Houdini Museum is located at 213 West 35th Street, 4th floor, in Midtown Manhattan. Like what you hear? Then become a member of my Patreon Page for exclusive behind-the-scene perks!

In the beginning, there were just old Jews telling jokes—you know, Uncle Buddy down in Boca or grandpa’s bawdy second wife Hettie. Then, in 2008, filmmaker Sam Hoffman had the idea of filming some of his favorite old Jews telling jokes. He created a website and posted a series of “Old Jews Telling Jokes” videos that soon attracted a devoted following. The most popular jokes (such as this one, about giving directions) have been viewed well over a million times. Now, at the initiative of Daniel Okrent—the first public editor for the New York Times—and writer and editor Peter Gethers, Old Jews Telling Jokes has been re-purposed as a theatrical production, complete with a narrative through-line and cabaret-style musical numbers. Currently in previews, it opens May 20 at the Westside Theater in... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
