  • Summary

  • Jews dominated comedy during the 20th century. But that century has been over for more than 20 years, and now the trends of stand-up have shifted toward a more diverse array of voices. It begs the question: do Jews still have a role in comedy? Do we have anything new to say?

    To kick off Shticks and Giggles, host Laura Leibow brings on two comics to help answer this massive question: Howard Glassman, of "Humble and Fred" fame, and Jacob Balshin, a comedian and winner of the first annual Harvey Atkin Purim Comedy Competition (with a grand prize of $2,500, somehow).

    Credits
