Shtick Shift: Jewish Humor in the 21st Century Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Reb Simcha doesn't disappoint in his second book about Jewish humor, "Shtick Shift." It's a rollicking read, full of historical anecdotes, fascinating moments of comic nostalgia and loaded with laughs! Couldn't put it down! It's a light-hearted way to pick up all kinds of interesting tidbits about the Jewish comics of yesteryear who we grew to know and love as we were growing up -- Jack Benny, the Marx Brothers and Mel Brooks -- and brings their influence into the present with Seinfeld, Costanza and Sandler, among many others. Forget those failing equity funds! Pick up a copy of "Shtick Shift" and enjoy!
