Catskills Comedy with the best Jewish comedians, and a nosh. You'll laugh till you plotz!
Doors Open 6:30 pm Show: 7:30 pm
Comedians Joey Novick, Bob Greenberg and Jeff Greenberg each perform a standup set designed to recall the kind of comedy often performed at the resorts in the Catskills Mountains in New York.
The Borscht Belt from the 1940s to the 1960s ---- the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York was THE place to be for the Jewish community in the Northeast. Each summer, families would visit one of the many hotels in the region for relaxation, cultural camaraderie, food (endless amounts of food!), and COMEDY entertainment.
Out of this crazy mishegoss grew what we now know as stand up comedy. Aspiring comics learned their craft in the Catskills, which soon became a laboratory for modern comedy.
Superstars such as Jerry Lewis, Mel Brooks, Buddy Hackett, Carl Reiner, Mal Z. Lawrence, Jerry Stiller, Danny Kaye, Lenny Bruce, Sid Caesar, London Lee all got their start at these legendary resorts, learning what worked — and what didn’t — and how they could make their own mark. They started out as tummlers, and became comedy legends!
So, schlepp back in time to comedy in the Catskill Mountains with The Borscht Belt - grab a sandwich, and enjoy laughs and a nosh!
BOB GREENBERG starred as “Morty” in The National Tour of OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES—and knows hundreds of the top Jewish Jokes!!
Bob performs regularly at the Friars Club, the Metropolitan Room and the Gotham Comedy Club. He has been featured on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, LETTERMAN, CONAN, THE NEXT BEST THING and PRIMETIME LIVE. He has had roles on VINYL (HBO), THE CHARACTERS (NETFLIX) and LAW & ORDER.
JEFF GREENBERG - Performs regularly at the Comic Strip Live and Broadway Comedy Club in NYC and the Comedy Cove in NJ . Recently hosted at the world famous Friars Club.
HOST: JOEY NOVICK has been a camp counselor, editorial director, attorney, busboy, radio show host, professional speaker, child actor and an elected official in New Jersey - but not necessarily in that order.
His solo show, "Jewishish, an Oy Story" was noted by the New Jersey Jewish News that "...Novick offers a kind of loving embrace for the unique dynamics (and dysfunctions) recognizable in Jewish families and the paradoxes in Jewish family values, using his own life as fodder, as many comedians do."
Tickets include: admission to the show and a boxed dinner by The Borscht Belt.
