The Jewish Catskill resorts of the 20th century were the birthplace of some great comic careers. Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Jerry Lewis, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers and many more learned to win laughs from the patrons of such hotels as Grossingers, Browns, The Concord, Kutchers and The Nevele. John Kenrick offers a multimedia talk on this comic tradition, with hilarious video clips and tales of the Golden Age of Borscht Belt comedy. Sponsored
