Back in 2012, US comedy giant Jackie Mason bid 'farewell' to Britain with, apparently, his last ever UK dates. Well, he's back – the 83-year-old stand-up is playing these West End gig at the Adelphi Theatre. Didn't take the self-styled 'Ultimate Jew' too long to change his mind, eh?
Mason has been in the business for more than 50 years and is a master of joke-telling. Expect this Adelphi run to contain new jokes, a good chunk of old material (which could be justified as 'classic Mason') and will probably slip into some un-PC ground. Technically, though, Mason is a superb comic, with excellent timing and a sharp comedy mind. If you've never seen Jackie Mason live, we thoroughly recommend you get yourself a ticket – it could be your last chance.
