Get ready to duck when the zingers fly and guffaw at this hilarious, insightful documentary—an exhilarating mix of contemporary performance, interviews and rare archival footage. What is it that makes funny Jewish women so funny…and so Jewish? Is it sharp wit, a perfectly timed punch line, or generations of immigrant and first-generation women using comedy to carve out space in America?
Making Trouble: Three Generations of Funny Jewish Women celebrates six trailblazers—Molly Picon, Fanny Brice, Sophie Tucker, Joan Rivers, Wendy Wasserstein and Gilda Radner—who helped shape American comedy from vaudeville and Yiddish theater to Broadway and Saturday Night Live. Contemporary comedians Judy Gold, Jackie Hoffman, Cory Kahaney and Jessica Kirson add commentary that brings their legacy to life.
