Jewish Comedians
Great Jewish comics are easy to recognize: they're the ones who make us think deeply as we laugh heartily. Join Columbia Professor Jeremy Dauber as he looks at some of Jewish comedy's classic voices, the ones who helped define and redefine what it means to be Jewish, and funny, in America.

Please note that the comedians discussed in this series will not be present at the events.
