When Jews were funny

a Sudden Storm Entertainment production ; producers Jesse Ikeman Jeff Glickman ; written and directed by Alan Zweig
videorecording (DVD) - 2013

Insightful and often hilarious, it surveys the history of Jewish comedy, from the early days of Borscht Belt to the present, ultimately exploring not just ethnicity in the entertainment industry, but also the entire unruly question of what it means to be Jewish. Popular comedians from the past and present provide an abundance of surprising opinions and witty humor.
