Peter Goldman is a self-described “nice Jewish boy”. His wry observations on life in the big city, peppered with references to pop culture, will have you in stitches. He recently dazzled audiences in Elkton, MD with his one man show, “Meshuggeneh: The Musical”
PK: You are notoriously straight laced. You don’t drink, gamble, or do drugs. Do you have any vices?
PG: Well, I do try to keep kosher for the most part, but every now and again I have to have a ham and cheese sandwich. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t help myself!
PK: Who would you cite as your biggest influences?
PG: In terms of comedy, I would say Chris Pearsons is, pound for pound, the funniest comic who ever lived. But in terms of hard work and determination, I really look up to pro-golfer, Bobby Jones. And of course I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for my Uncle Phil.
PK: What’s on your iPod right now?
PG: I know that I’m late to the party on this one, but I’m really into The Dixie Chicks right now. They are so spunky!
PK: You recently did your own one man show, how does that differ from doing stand-up?
PG: Honestly, it doesn’t. I just do my regular stand- up act, but if you call it a “One Man Show” you can charge more.
PK: Are you excited about your first visit to the “City of Brotherly Love”?
PG: Absolutely, I love gay black men.
Peter Goldman will be making his Philadelphia area stand-up debut at Pork Chop Comedy’s The Conshy Comedy show on April 14th. For tickets/Info: http://conshycomedyapril14.eventbrite.com/
