Happy Hanukkah for sure. If laughter is the best medicine, then 'A Small Book of Jewish Comedians' is a panacea!â â In 1978, Time magazine estimated that around 80 percent of professional American comics were Jewish, and Jewish humor remains a foundation stone of American popular culture and humor. This book is not intended as a definitive tome but is instead a joyful and irreverent celebration of great photography and some of the greatest one-liners of the 20th century, ripe in satire, anecdote, self-deprecation and irony.â â Featuring photographs of comedians such as Larry David, Fran Lebowitz, Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Lenny Bruce, Rita Rudner, Joan Rivers and George Burns, the bookâs portraits are accompanied by one-liners such as: âOutside of a dog, a book is a manâs best friend. Inside of a dog, itâs too dark to read.â (Groucho Marx); âWhen I was a boy the Dead Sea was only sick.â (George Burns); âIt was a Jewish porno film ⌠one minute of sex and nine minutes of guilt.â (Joan Rivers); âYou know who wears sunglasses inside? Blind people and assholes.â (Larry David); âI am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.â (Fran Lebowitz).â â â Read more via linkinbio.â â Published by @reelartpress â Edited by @tonynourmandâ Introduction by @bobbyslaytonofficialâ â #jewishcomedian #comedy #jewishcomedy #joanrivers #donrickles #hannukahgift https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUSlQ2uI-R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
