BACKSTAGE NAMES THE J.A.P. SHOW CRITIC'S PICK:

"Cory Kahaney has created a winner with The J.A.P. Show. Part tribute, part clip show, part standup comedy, it showcases funny ladies of today and opens a window into legendary entertainers of the past.
Gwen Orel, Backstage

" . . . there are enough universally funny bits to make the goyim feel welcome."
Mark Blankenship, Variety

" . . . a loosely stitched but loving comic tribute, [that] conjures side-splitting Borscht Belt bawdiness with the revisionist twist of allowing female comedians to take center stage - and thus "give nachas" to their forebears.
Adam R. Perlman , Newsday

"Although each performer has an individual set, they team up in an opening segment in which they deliver a rat-a-tat series of side-splitting jokes, jockeying setups and punch lines like an Olympic comedy team."
Frank Scheck, New York Post

"The socioethnic ramifications of Jewish humor are endless, but it's really best to sit back and laugh along with everybody else at the stand-up banter offered by The J.A.P. Show, Jewish American Princesses of Comedy."
Michael Sommers, The Star Ledger

"The Actor's Temple where the likes of Shelley Winters, several of the Three Stooges and Sophie Tucker at one time attended services is an apt venue for this modern Borscht Belt evening."
Elyse Sommer, curtainup.com

" . . . the fact that I never had a bar mitzvah didn’t keep me from laughing my gay goy tookis off."
Brandon Voss, HX.com

"Jewish Funny Girls: Beyond Fabulous!"
Jonathan Warman, The New York Blade

"In spite of the princess title, these brazen babes are happy to be frogs. By rights, their warts-and-all humor should earn some kisses along the way."
The New Yorker

"There's no tsuris here, just a chance to laugh your tuchas off . . ."
Brian Scott Lipton, Theatremania.com

"[It's] more than four female Jewish comics joking about being undersexed, oversexed or shopping."
Leonard Jacob, New York Press

"That is really the key to this show — the reverential treatment of those who blazed the trail."
Cara Joy David, The Jewish Daily Forward

"An Off-Broadway tribute to the 'Princesses of Comedy'"
Peter D. Kramer, New York Journal News

" . . . a side-splitting evening of Jewish humor as related by four of the reigning female Jewish comediennes of today . . ."
Judd Hollander, The Epoch Times

"No nudity but a lot of laughs from Corey Kahaney, Cathy Ladman, Jackie Hoffman and Jessica Kirson fill The J.A.P. Show . . . "
David Hurst, Next Magazine

"For once, here's a show in which sexist bravado is actually refreshing."
Isa Goldberg, Go!
