Each week we’ll chat to some of the UK’s best loved Jewish comedians, presenters, broadcasters, journalists and actors. They’ll share their own unique perspectives on being 21st century Jews as well as their memories of growing up and what being Jewish means to them. Join us as we kick off with a brief introduction to the upcoming series.

Daniel Cainer: @DanielCainer
Daniel is an award-winning songwriter, performer, broadcaster and several other words ending in ‘er’, and known as the “Comic Bard of Anglo Jewry”.
His deeply moving tales about his family and observational comedy are a joy. Feuding tailors, a naughty rabbi, family fables (and foibles) – all the human condition is here, lovingly and intelligently depicted in a remarkable collection of stories-in-song. With brilliant rhyming and wordplay, great musicianship and haunting tunes, he delivers a performance that you’ll never forget.
