1. The Camry
The Chamber Theater under the management of artistic director Gilad Kimchi took me far beyond the limits of what I could imagine would happen with “Habadnikim”, the musical I wrote and was chosen to be the musical that will be staged at the Chamber for the 2022-2023 repertoire. Days and nights I worked on the musical on the third floor of the chamber building. Tel Aviv became my permanent view and the Camry became my second home.

2. The Unknown Hero 24
Ten years ago I left Tel Aviv. I lived in Tel Aviv for ten years. It was a decade full of experiences and performances and hanging out and friends. We lived in Yad Eliyahu, we moved three times within the area of Yad Eliyahu. We really liked the atmosphere and the people. 24 HaGivor Elamoni St., 6th floor – this was my last address in Tel Aviv. Two of my children were born in Tel Aviv and grew up in this apartment. It was a large, stunning apartment, with a large living room window that overlooked a spectacular view of the boulevard to the west, with sunsets on the horizon and lots of memories.

3. Wild monkeys
When we lived in Tel Aviv, Kofi Bar was my wife and I’s favorite hangout. We loved everything there: the decor and the waiters, the food and the wine. Before each departure we always thought of changing with another restaurant and cheating on coffee bars, but somehow we always found ourselves giving in to the hesitation and going on the safe side. We celebrated most of our events as a couple there: birthdays, wedding anniversaries and just days without a special title.

4. A team
As one half of the comedian duo “Odi and Aviad”, Tsofa was the place where we grew and developed. It was such a generation of comedians who performed together at improv and stand-up nights and this is also the place thanks to which I moved to Tel Aviv when I realized that this is what I want to do in life. Here I gained experience for years with countless hours on stage in front of an audience, here I managed to perform in all three of its halls in all kinds of productions over the years, when there was still Tsvata 3. Tsvata is a warm corner in the heart of original and innovative work, so it was clear that our new entertainment show “Tsiki “We decided to do it together.

5. Hima Square 2
At this address was the office of our producer and agent, the late Uri Harris. “Sol Pekot” that’s what they called it. It was such a home office, warm, with a large studio room and couches and a small stage. The period was a peak of our creative joy as young, budding comedians… It was there in this studio that we rehearsed for our entertainment show, where we also did the rehearsals for the first season of the series “Puppy and Brother” which became a cult series with which we are identified even to this day. The Bhima Square 2 is nostalgia both for that time and for that man who believed in us and loved us.
