Ashley Blaker, Britain's only ultra-Orthodox stand-up comedian, presents a rare insider's view of his religion. From 2018.
Ashley Blaker, Britain's only ultra-Orthodox stand up comedian, presents an insider's view of his religion, specially created for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
It's a whistle-stop tour of Jewish life and, in particular, a very rare glimpse into the normally inaccessible world of strict Orthodox Judaism.
Ashley is already a well-known name in the Jewish community, having undertaken two critically acclaimed UK tours as well as performing sell-out shows in Israel, South Africa, Canada and Off-Broadway in New York. The Jewish press has described him as "the haredi Michael McIntyre".
As well as being a popular and experienced live performer, Ashley is also a comedy writer and producer for radio and TV. He was responsible for first unleashing Little Britain on an unsuspecting nation on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio. But, being a strict orthodox Jew, he is surely the only person who works in TV without actually owning one.
Written and presented by Ashley Blaker.
Producer: Steve Doherty
A Giddy Goat production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2018.
