After her sold out run of Filler Up! at the Drill Hall in 2003, Deb Filler
returns with another knockout show.
Humour has rarely been associated with the Holocaust, but in this rich, funny and poignant performance, Filler
creates the qualities of the universal family out of the family she lost.
The 36 characters she depicts in her remarkable solo performance balance humour, love, passion and pathos.
This groundbreaking off-Broadway show celebrates love for family, especially the extended family of one survivor
of Auschwitz who made his home after the war in New Zealand. He is accompanied on a journey back to
the camps by his comedian daughter Deb.
This is the story of a Holocaust survivor with a difference.
How do we find humour in our most difficult moments? Is a sense of humour hereditary?
These stories mould themselves into a comic repertoire which is daring and delicate.
Black humour at its absolute best.
