It's No Job For A Nice Jewish Girl
by Time2Shine Productionscomedy
A solo stand up comedy show about identity, rebellion and the drive to fit in, with a bit about being a pop star.
about the production
Winner of the Best Comedy Award at the Greater Manchester Fringe, a sell-out debut Edinburgh run in 2017 was followed up in 2018 with a successful UK tour and return to the Fringe. So far, it's been seen by 3500 people of all faiths and none, received fantastic reviews and incredible audience feedback. With a face that shouts "Xmas" but a soul that screams "Hanukkah", Rachel Creeger's always felt like she has a foot in two worlds. With her unique voice and comedy talent, she is pushing boundaries as the first member of her community on the mainstream comedy circuit

Small table and a mic on a stand, sound desk that can play pre-cut clips either on a cd, through a phone or laptop. Technician to operate lighting and sound. Lighting is basic warm wash with one section where house lights are used.
Although it is a clean show, we would recommend an audience of ages 14+. The show appeals across a broad audience who enjoy story-telling style stand up, people have commented that they can identify with the common themes.
“A confident and charismatic performer”
"Tight writing, sharp performance and a beautifully zany imagination."
"We went to see Rachel Creeger in her @edfringe show today, and we saw her yesterday in the family-friendly This Is Your Trial show. And if we were here for longer, we’d see her again in something else! She’s a great talent, highly entertaining and very engaging."
I use photos to illustrate the story, but would be able to describe them for any visually impaired audience members if I was made aware of their presence.
Some venues have asked for a Q&A afterwards, these have been very popular as I am the only practising orthodox Jewish comedian on the circuit, and this leads to some really interesting discussions. I also run comedy writing, performance and script development workshps, and improv workshops for children.
Ideally looking for box-split arrangements plus travel and accommodation where necessary. Alternatively a flat fee of £500 has been paid by some previous venues.
