Overview:

Traditional Jewish humour flourished in adversity. Religious persecution and life in the ghetto nurtured its own kind of bitter comedy which, in 20th-century America, has developed into a recognisable and acclaimed style of humour. Arena examines this rich heritage of comic genius, and includes contributions from Milton Berle , Jackie Mason , Joan Rivers and Billy Crystal.
