My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy is a hysterical and poignant play that tells the story of actor and comedian, Brad Zimmerman, who worked as a waiter for nearly three decades in pursuit of his acting dream, and his parents, who suffered through that decision. My Son the Waiter is a tale about the grit and passion required to "make it" as an artist and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up.

Paying his dues to stardom, Zimmerman spent 29 years "temporarily" waiting tables in New York, all the while chasing a career in acting and comedy. In My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy, he delves into the trials and tribulations of being a server, particularly for someone not exactly invested in the career and with little tolerance for persnickety diners. He also tells stories about the pursuit of his passion, along with tales about childhood, family, and his misbegotten love life. Combining his years of training as an actor with his innate comedic talent, the storytelling is executed with warmth, wit, self-deprecating humor, and wicked charm. Zimmerman’s mother finally adapted to her actor-waiter son’s career choice and financial situation.
