Laughing at the Absurd
Self-Mockery

Maccabi Games (2016)

Performer: Nik Rabinowitz.

Rabinowitz brings a specifically South African dimension to Jewish self-mockery, by exposing the particularities inherent in belonging to the small Jewish community in post-apartheid South Africa. In this clip, he specifically mocks the Maccabi Games as the Jews' own version of the Olympics.

Up next: Sallah Shabati (1964)
