Bubble Schmeisis

Nick Cassenbaum

Drama / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh

Welcome to the steam baths.
Welcome home.

Bubbemeises is Yiddish, it translates as a grandmother's story, a tall story, an old wives' tale.

Join Nick as he takes you on a journey to find the place he belongs. Amidst the steam, live klezmer music and ritual, will he find what he's looking for?

Bubble Schmeisis is full of intimate and personal true stories about Jewish identity, home and getting schmeised (washed) by old men.

This revised edition was published to coincide with Lowry x Edinburgh Season production at Sauna Theatre, at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2026.

He has written and performed two solo shows, Bubble Schmeisis (The Stage ****), which has toured extensively around the UK and internationally and My Kind Of Michael (Guardian****), which has also toured the UK. Nick has written two pantomimes for JW3, Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Pig and Goldie Frocks and the Bear Mitzvah. He is currently writing the third, Cinderella and the Matzo Ball.
