Arena (1975)

Next Time Dear God Please Choose Someone Else (1990x5)

Air date: Feb 23, 1990

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.
