Etgar Keret was scheduled to appear at the London Jewish community center — the JW3 — with celebrity chef Yotam Ottolenghi and star Guardian columnist (and novelist) Jonathan Freedland.

Due to an accident he couldn’t attend the event on October 13 in person, so he sent this charming video and cheekily stole the evening.

Dan Friedman is the former executive editor and whisky correspondent of the Forward, and is the author of a book about Tears for Fears, the ’80s emo rock band.
