In pictures: JW3’s laugh it off for Purim
It was cocktails at dusk for JW3 Young Professionals last Tuesday evening, as 150 masked guests piled in to the Finchley Road community centre for a Purim party. Entertainment was provided by stand-up comedian and “apologetic Eton and Oxford alumnus” Ivo Graham, and Philip Simon, who won Jewish Comedian of 2015. Cocktails were served by Luigi, the bar manager at Michelin-starred Café Milano. Deborah Tamir, Young Professionals programmer at JW3, said: “It was fantastic to see so many young professionals attend. The mixture of cocktail masterclasses and hilarious comedy made for an enjoyable night.”
