Here’s the shtick: Ari is caught between two worlds.

Still living at home in North-West London, she has her Jewish life, dominated by overbearing parents, traditions, and expectations. Then there’s her day-to-day life – the job, the pub, the foreskins.

Written and performed by award-winning Deli Segal (Channel 4Screenwriting 2023), Pickle is a darkly comic uproarious simcha of a one-woman show about being Jewish and secular in the UK today. Expect smoked salmon, guilt and a large dose of self-deprecation.

Following a sold-out tour at Park Theatre, Manchester Jewish Museum and Radlett Centre, Pickle comes to Soho Upstairs for a limited run this July.
