THE BOOK OF MURRAY The Life, Teachings, and Kvetching of the Lost Prophet

This ridiculously funny send-up of American Jewish culture begins with the stentorian voice of Alan Sklar delivering the author's introduction as though it comes direct from God. From there, Yash Kimmelfarb provides outrageously overdone Jewish accents as he impersonates the Prophet Murray, son of Irving, and his trusty sidekick and cousin, Lenny. The hilarity also features the irascible King Joe Bob and various interpretations of his dreams involving the threatening fundraiser Phyllis Stein. Kimmelfarb’s interpretations of the author's pacing and humor are spot-on. Bader’s witty laugh-along is for anyone in danger of taking things a bit too seriously.
