My Son The Waiter, A Jewish Tragedy Reviews
Chicago Reader- Not Recommended
"...But after nearly 30 years serving veal piccata to the ungrateful, he's finally made good, with a one-man, one-act, one-note kvetchorama that'll enable audiences, at long last, to picture what it would be like if George Carlin had been born Jewish and less intelligent. He's got jokes so old they were rejected from the Talmud, and he delivers them with unbearable slowness. The restaurant material is funny, but his unscripted banter and incessant flashbacks to simpler times with Amy Saperstein and her bra blow right past intimacy on the way to creepy town."
Around The Town Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...HEEEE's BACK! Brad Zimmerman is back in the Chicago area doing his thing . . telling his story! As someone who spends a great deal of time with actors who all have other vocations to bring in the money, to pay the bills, so they can live in the houses they buy or rent, I know from whence he speaks. I recall my days as an actor when I worked in retail shops, drove a cab or worked in shipping and receiving. I was never a waiter, BUT I know a great number of actors who have been (or might still be) performing these duties to pay the bills."

"...Zimmerman has a presence that allows him to own the stage. He gives us an honest version of himself and while he makes fun of himself, he also teases us, making the performance fun for everyone involved. "
