Mister Benny

Playwright Mark Humphrey gives us an insight into the life and humor of
Jack Benny, widely recognized as one of the leading entertainers of the
20th century. His humor continues to delight us – his supposed
“stinginess” (he was actually the most generous of men), his recurring
39th birthday, his off-key violin playing (actually an accomplished
musician). Jack Benny will be brought to life by Tim Newell in this
one-man play, who created the role at Jewish Repertory Theatre in
Buffalo.

“Newell’s performance adds up to a great deal more than
the sum of its vaudevillian parts: the expert comic timing, the
perfectly calibrated facial expressions and the masterful recounting of
anecdotes from Benny’s time on vaudeville stages, on radio and
television.” – The Buffalo News
