What I Like About Jew - West Coast tour
What I Like About Jew, the comedy song duo of Sean Altman ‘83 and Rob
Tannenbaum ‘83, who've been called "the Bart Simpsons of the Yeshiva"
by Time Out New York, and "the Simon & Garfunkel of ethnic gag songs"
by the Boston Globe, will tour the west coast in April. Schedule below
and at http://www.WhatILikeAboutJew.com
The duo was featured in Time Out's cover story on "The New Super Jews,"
and has been hailed in the New York Times, The New Yorker, The Onion
and Philadelphia Weekly, which said: "Nothing compares to the bawdy
borscht-belt comedy of Altman and Tannenbaum, who take Catskills
seltzer-bottle humor to a dirty new low, with lyrics that make Lenny
Bruce look like a choirboy."
Copies of What I Like About Jew's Unorthodox CD can be purchased at the
show or at

RAVES FOR WHAT I LIKE ABOUT JEW
New York Times
“Sean Altman and Rob Tannenbaum might be giants of Jewish joke-pop, but
you can also hear some Beatles in their risqué borscht-belting-not to
mention a reverence for tradition.”
Boston Globe
“Their songs are racy and funny and smart and affectionate, written for
a generation of fully assimilated Jews who grew up on punk rock and
'South Park.'"
Baltimore CityGuide
“Irreverent and hilarious, a smorgasbord of dirty humor, high wit and
musical lunacy. Think Lenny Bruce meets Mel Brooks meets Sarah
Silverman.”
Village Voice
“Sly and hilarious.”
Jewsweek.com
“With wickedly witty lyrics that make the audience moan and groan,
Altman and Tannenbaum are not-so-nice Jewish boys. They set a new
standard of outrageousness for the rest of the Jewish pop star
wannabes.”
Jewlicious.com
“HILARIOUS! And yes. Rob's hair really is THAT fabulous.”
Eric Alterman of MSNBC.com
"It's intelligent, reflective, funny, self-critical and celebratory all
at once. And it sure beats the hell out of circumcision."
