Bubbemeises is Yiddish, it translates as a grandmother’s story, a tall story, an old wives’ tale.
Writer and street performer Nick Cassenbaum invites you into the warmth of the Canning Town Schvitz, East London’s last authentic bath house. Amongst the steam, live klezmer and ritual Nick will take you on a journey to find the place he belongs.
Schlaping through summer camps, barber shops and Spurs football games. Will he find what he was looking for? Bubble Schmeisis is full of intimate and personal true stories about identity, home and getting schmeised (washed) by old men.
Nick has been performing this show for ten years and done it over 150 times. The show has not changed…but Nick has and so has the world. (but not the photo- that is 10 years old…not a catfish)
Following the sell-out run and Fringe First winning REVENGE: After The Levoyah it’s time to celebrate 10 years of the show that started it all and to officially retire the Bubble Schmeisis, Nick is bringing it back to the Soho theatre.
Your last chance to see it.
