When your father is world famous black comedian Richard Pryor and your mother is a Jewish go-go dancer, race is going to be an issue growing up. And Rain Pryor has come through the better for it.

As the shows title illustrates, there are plenty of cultural stereotypes associated with both being black and Jewish, which Rain uses to great comic effect. From her grandmothers, an upper-eastside Jew and a black brothel madam, to ditzy high school valley girls and a coke addicted, womanising dad, Rain is at comic ease with what could be very painful material. This cabaret style performance is, by turns, funny, insightful and touching, and Rain shows great warmth and vulnerability on stage. Exhibiting an overabundance of talent, she is a comedian, singer, mimic and narrator of her life story throughout the show. The characterisations of friends and family are fully constructed, and Rain, not surprisingly, does a pitch perfect impersonation of her father. But the show doesn’t just hang on the ‘famous dad’; it’s the personal experience and influences of growing up a black, Jewish woman that shines through. It is well-constructed show, allowing Rain to show off her fantastic voice, which adds emotional pauses. This is a very funny show; if she is back in town any time soon, get yourself there.
