If you ever longed for something, if you ever desired it with all your heart, if you were willing to wait tables for 29 years to pursue your dream then My Son The Waiter will give meaning to your Life!
Specifically, My Son the Waiter tells the story of how Brad Zimmerman, now pushing 60, waited tables in New York for a mind-numbing 29 years, before finally taking himself seriously enough to study stand-up comedy, and write a one-man show about waiting until his mid-50s to perform on stage.

“I’ve had three great opening acts in my lifetime: Billy Crystal, Garry Shandling, & Brad Zimmerman.”
--- Joan Rivers -
“A MUST SEE. It’s HYSTERICAL, HEARTFELT, TIMELY and POIGNANT. I cried, I laughed, I forgot where I parked.”
--- Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond) -
About an hour into the show, there’s a powerfully poignant riff about Mr. Zimmerman’s long-dead father that could make Billy Crystal cry. Near the end, Mr. Zimmerman verges on sharing more than everybody may want to know about his psyche. The demons or angels that drove Mr. Zimmerman to keep plugging away all those years are interesting, but we don’t need to know his process; we just enjoy reaping the benefits.
