Don't miss Jeffrey Sweet's insightful and hilarious 75-minute solo show that weaves an anecdotal history of improvisation and comedy in the 20th centruy. Find out where the funny Jewish people came from and how they flipped anti-Semism on its #@!&$ by mocking the very bullies who drove them out of Russia and Eastern Europe, leading to the American comedy renaissance that gave birth to greats like Del Close, Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Paul Sills, Lenny Bruce, Mel Brooks, John Belushi, John Candy, Chris Farley... (you get the idea!).
A hit at this year's New York Fringe Festival!
