Rega Israel: Dalia, the Annoying Israeli, Takes Her Attitude to Australia


Dalia is back again. Yes, our favorite Israeli with an attitude that's unlikely to make many friends has just returned from a trip "down under." This is another episode of the web series Rega Israel.

Portrayed by comedian Deb Kaye from the Jerusalem-based HaHafuch comedy troupe, Dalia searches the streets of Australia looking for kangaroos and restaurants that serve shakshuka, and friendly natives to take her photo. Luckily for her, the good citizens of Australia accept her as a kooky visitor and take her behavior in stride.

Enjoy!

  2. She’s not related in any way. I get mixed reactions to her shtick from love it to hate it. There are different kinds of humor and not everyone relates to every kind. Deb is a very talented and funny lady who hails from South Africa and is a star in the world of improv comedy in Israel. This is satire, and in satire, characters are exaggerated. Have you ever watched Saturday Night Live or similar shows? She created the Dalia character to make fun of some Israelis who really act that way, and I’ve met some of them on my semi-annual trips to Jerusalem.
    I’m sorry you didn’t like this one. Thanks for your support and I hope you’ll like the posts that follow.
