Full Description
Today's Jewish comics are being themselves, and the understated Jewish
flavor of Seinfeld has been replaced by a matter-of-factness that would
make earlier Jewish comics cringe. Author Simcha Weinstein calls this
new comic sensibility the shtick shift. These comedians offer fresh
perspectives on familiar themes in Jewish humor: money, family, faith,
politics, and bigotry. Shtick Shift aims to be a primer to the
ever-changing face of Jewish comedy in the twenty-first century.
"The understated "Jew-ish" flavor of 20th century comedy is over and
has been replaced by a brutal matter-of-factness that would make
earlier generations cringe." "Simcha Weinstein calls this new comic
sensibility the Shtick Shift."
Your personal primer to the
ever-changing face of Jewish comedy at the dawn of the 21st century:
the new faces, their outrageous routines, and their sometimes
surprising seriousness about the most pressing and depressing issues of
our time.
