À propos de cet audio
In a major work of scholarship both erudite and very funny, Jeremy Dauber traces the origins of Jewish comedy and its development from Biblical times to the age of Twitter.
Organizing his book thematically into what he calls the seven strands of Jewish comedy - including the satirical, the witty, and the vulgar - Dauber explores the ways Jewish comedy has dealt with persecution, assimilation, and diaspora through the ages. He explains the rise and fall of popular comic archetypes such as the Jewish mother, the JAP, and the schlemiel and schlimazel. And he explores an enormous range of comic masterpieces, from the Book of Esther, Talmudic rabbi jokes, Yiddish satires, Borscht Belt skits, Seinfeld, and Curb Your Enthusiasm to the work of such masters as Sholem Aleichem, Franz Kafka, the Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, Philip Roth, Sarah Silverman, and Jon Stewart.

Comprehensive, academic, and interesting.
As a gentile schmuck, I freely admit to a lamentable ignorance of a lot of Jewish history. I never attended Hebrew school, haven't studied the Torah, have never had a lengthy intellectual debate with a rabbi. This book is an interesting, if unconventional means of remedying that. If you're reading this looking for a string of gags, you'll be disappointed. But if you're a student of comedy, and want to understand this community and the role humor plays in making them who they are, it's very much worth your time.

Insightful, funny, well narrated.
Ranging from the historic Israelites to Lonely Island, the author deftly maneuvers through experiences, histories, jokes, and genocides to find how we came to the cadre of humorists who shaped our world. Excellent.
