When Comedy Went to School
0 - Default Title
Description
Why are there so many ish comedians? When Comedy Went to School answers this question with an entertaining portrait of this country's greatest generation of comics - the generation that includes the likes of Jerry Lewis, Sid Caesar, Jackie Mason, Mort Sahl, and Jerry Stiller, all of whom make appearances in the film, sharing hilarious and personal experiences.
The answer is also found in upstate New York's Catskill Mountains, aka the Borscht Belt, where ish immigrants transformed lush farmland into the 20th century's largest resort complex. Those Catskill hotels and bungalow colonies provided the setting for a remarkable group of young ish-American comedians to hone their craft and become worldwide legends. It was truly When Comedy Went to School .
