"Five #Jewish #comedy legends who reshaped the ‘#90s.

The 1990’s provided a major shift in the tone and style of #comedy in #America. Observational humor took the place of the simple set up/punchline. The classic sitcom evolved from the traditional escapades of mistaken identities and tired tropes that dated back to the 50s. Even sketch comedy took a bold, experimental approach that embraced mind-bending randomness.

At the core of all the innovations were Jewish #comedians. Obviously, Jerry Seinfeld's iconic show Seinfeld would be top of the list. So in the spirit of subverting expectations, here are five great Jewish comedians of the #1990s that aren’t Jerry Seinfeld."

#Jewish #comedians have gone in one of two directions recently. They’ve either become much more expressive of their identity, on and off stage, or removed it almost entirely from their material. There’s definitely an external expectation of being seen to be ‘the right kind of #Jew’: one who conforms to the widely held and loudly shouted views. There isn’t a great deal of knowledge or understanding of the rich diversity in Jewish history, thought and ­opinion, and this means that labels get placed on ­Jewish people without nuance or critical thinking.”

The Telegraph · ‘We told jokes in the camps’ – but is Jewish comedy doomed?By Claire Allfree

Heute haben wir in der #ZDF #Mediathek die neue #LateNight #Show "#TillTonight" mit #TillReiners geschaut.

War nicht lustig.

Fast immer, wenn #Comedians etwas anderes machen, als sie sonst machen und ein größeres Format bekommen, ist es nicht lustig. Till ist "tryin too hard", schon Tonlage und Lautstärke wirken unangenehm, als müssten die #Pointen zünden, wenn man sie uns nur energisch genug entgegen ruft.

Gut waren 2 Dinge:
1. Sympathische Gästin #HazelBrugger
2. kurze Sendedauer

3 #Performers Who Refused to Give Up

Aspiring #actors, #comedians, #singers, #musicians, and #dancers alike are faced with the significant and worthwhile challenge of learning their crafts. Even when a level of mastery is reached, performers then face heavy competition, as well as any number of obstacles that can be frustrating to navigate.

Don't know why but was thinking about the late comedian Jeremy Hardy. Remember seeing him at The Stables, MK back before the big refurbishment in that daft stage-in-a-barn that only had sides. It was a hot summer night with no air con & he wore shorts. I'm glad I saw him so many times. He'd be incandescent at the state we've got ourselves in these days. #Memories #UK #comedians
