"I don't want a niche – I want an empire!" – Michael Wex, Globe and Mail
Last year we bought a four-foot tall animatronic Santa Claus.
If you talk into the microphone that comes in the box you can make Santa talk. It was just too tempting to make him an old Jewish man. So here's Santa's message. Just for you.
Wex is pretty famous for his unique brand of story-telling/stand-up.
Now for the first time online we have a really great recording of his piece "Camp Nayvelt" which describes how he didn't go to the progressive Yiddish summer camp. It was performed at the 2009 Klezkamp Roadshow as part of the Conney Project on Jewish Arts at the University of Wisconsin.
All of the Klezkamp Roadshow 2009 concert videos can be found here.
