monologue by jewish mother

[dingaling]

Does anyone know the name of the speaker who is a jewish mother phoning her daughter and saying 'don't worry baby, mother'scoming' until eventually realising she has a wrong number. It ends with the daughter saying 'does that mean you're not coming?' I would love to get hold of a copy but have no idea what I am asking for-(and neither does anyone else!) Thank you in advance (hopefully)

Ah that sounds so sad dingaling! I don't know it, but I'd love to hear it! I'll watch your question with interest.

No it isn't a bit sad Bathsheba, her daughter is telling her that she is cut off at home in a snowstorm and is expecting a load of guests for dinner, the mother is telling her not to worry she will struggle thro' the snow etc. to help her, and bring the dinner with her (as far as I can remember) and at the end she says but where is Harry in all this, and the daughter says, but my husbands name is Frank and that is when she realises she has a wrong number and the daughter say 'does that mean you're not coming! It is very funny actually. I wish I could get hold of a copy.

I remember this story.
It's on an old tape called (Ithink) 'You don't have to be Jewish'
Can't do better then that I'm afraid.

The rest of the tape was also hilarious.

This is a dialogue comedy sketch between Betty Walker and Arlene Golonka titled 'Call from Long Island'.

You'll find it on a live 1966 recording called, 'You Don't Have to be Jewish/When You're in Love the Whole World is Jewish'

Seems to be out of print, but you can listen to the opening of the sketch and find a secondhand copy for sale on Amazon.

Wow, thank you so much for that Golem. I have ordered it and am looking forward to hearing it again. Thank you also Ladyalex for your help.
