‘Very funny, very moving’

Daily Mail


‘With his stories within stories, Daniel Cainer reminds me of Buñuel.

If Buñuel had been Jewish, born in Leeds and been an admirer

of Jake Thackeray, this is what he might have sounded like’

Alan Bennett


‘Sophisticated, witty and touching’

Manchester Evening News


‘Warm, open, intimate, frank and funny...

you’d have to be a schmuck to miss it’

‘Best of Brighton Fringe’


‘Daniel is winning hearts wherever he goes... fine musicianship

...his songs are really stories which keep audiences hooked ’

The Jewish Chronicle

Daniel Cainer's musical journey is a laugh & cry, almonds & raisins solo tour-de-force.


Warm, open, intimate - and very, very funny - Daniel shares, without judgement, the universal insights discovered while exploring his roots.


Jewish Chronicles is a literal title: this is Daniel’s personal journey in comic songs about his family and the Jewish world. Frank without controversy, personal without confrontation or any trace of bitterness, the songs are deeply felt; it's not on-stage therapy or cheap laughs at the expense of religion and culture. Cainer has impressive vocal, musical and emotional range.


Uniting Gentile and Jew through his honest style of storytelling, Daniel explores what it means to be Jewish in a turbulent 21st century.
