		Holiday Comic Relief



		"My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish, and I'm Home for the Holidays, the therapy continues..", Long Wharf Theatre, New Haven





			Steve Solomon brings back his hilarious holiday show for only three performances!



			 



			When the family arrives home to celebrate the holidays, Steve is thrown together with all his dysfunctional family members in a riotous dinner party. We join Steve for dinner at Grandma's house where, if your under 55, you still get to sit at the kids table. It's an evening of peace on Earth, good will towards men, with batteries not included. "Steve Solomon is Alan King, Billy Crystal, with a smidgen of Don Rickles and George Carlin all thrown in." - Variety
