 Ivor Dembina is a
London based Jewish comedian who uses the traditional flavour of Jewish humour to tackle tricky
subjects.
His first solo show, Stand Up
Jewish Comedy (1994) was a comic critique of his own life as a Jew brought up in north London, UK.
His next show was SadoJudaism (2001), a close up and peculiarly Jewish view of the worlds of
fetishism and sadomasochism. His most recent show (2004) was a comic account of his visit to
Israel and the Palestine entitled 'This is Not a Subject for Comedy'.
Whether he's doing a club set
or in solo mode you can expect a mixture of thoughtful routines and top gags held together by a
natural ease with the audience, a quality he's acquired through his extensive experience as a
compere.
