SUMMARY:A Brief but Spectacular History of Jewish Comedy
DESCRIPTION:The Jewish sensibility seems part of comedy’s DNA\, or maybe it’s comedy that’s got Jewish DNA. In the United States\, the influence is unmistakable. As Nobel Prize-winning novelist Saul Bellow said: “Oppressed people tend to be witty.” \nIn this multimedia online show\, David Misch (“Mork and Mindy\,” “Saturday Night Live\,” “The Muppets Take Manhattan\,” “Funny: The Book”) looks at the interaction between comedy and Jews\, born of a fatalistic sensibility that sees irony everywhere\, often expressed by sarcasm. (If a Jew says “Good thinking\, Einstein\,” it’s not a compliment.) \nYou’ll take a tour through recent history and the development of comedy in the U.S.\, as expressed in the works of comics ranging from Mel Brooks to Sarah Silverman. \nAnd lucky for you — all registrants get to keep the event recording! So you can re-live David’s jokes over and over again.
