The Borscht Belt: The Comic Legacy of the Jewish Alps The Jewish Catskill resorts of the 20th Century were a summer paradise for millions -- and the birthplace of great comic careers. Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Jackie Mason and many others learned to win laughs from the patrons of Grossingers, Browns, The Concord, Kutchers and The Nevele. Entertainment historian John Kenrick returns to offer a multi-media talk on this comic tradition, with hilarious videos clips and tales of the golden age of Borscht Belt comedy.
