The idea of JNS promoting Baddiel is hilarious to me.

"#Baddiel, author of #Jews Don’t Count, stated:“It is hard to escape the feeling that there is a double standard at play with how Simon and Creeger have been treated.”

He added that the duo are “just two #British #Jewish #comedians doing shows from their British, Jewish perspective. Not shows supportive, or even about, the state of #Israel.”

Usually, I just post memes. But this past Saturday, the very funny Mr. #TomLehrer passed away at the age of 97. He was a composer, singer, comedian, mathematician, teacher-- and inventor of the Jello Shot. He also wrote educational songs for childrens TV, such as for #TheElectricCompany and #SchoolhouseRock .

So this week, one #HootinTootinTuesday includes a link to a compilation of some of his catchiest and most hilarious music.

Now, that is real fucking comedy gold right there.

We made it up, WOCKA WOCKA! :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

"Two #Jewish #comedians whose #Edinburgh #Fringe shows were cancelled say the decision appeared to have been made on an incorrect pretext.

Rachel Creeger and Philip Simon told Times Radio that the #WhistleBinkies venue told them the cancellation was linked to a “vigil for #IDF #soldiers” held during Creeger’s performance last year, something the venue later ad­mitted had not happened.

Creeger, #Britain’s only touring #comedian who is also a practising #Orthodox #Jew, explained: “They initially said that they believed we’d held a vigil for an IDF soldier, a fallen soldier, which is a thing that just hadn’t ever happened in either of our shows. The shows are not political, we’re not political performers and the IDF is not a relevant subject in either show.

“They later withdrew that and said they understood that that didn’t actually happen."

"A venue at the #Edinburgh #Fringe has pulled the runs of two #Jewish #comedians, reportedly over safety concerns.

Rachel Creeger (pictured) and Philip Simon were due to be performing at Whistlebinkies on South Bridge in the centre of the #Scottish capital during August, but it has been reported that the popular, well-established pub venue cancelled their bookings over "discomfort".

The performers, who also co-front the podcast #Jew Talkin' To Me, were reportedly told that venue staff had complained of feeling “unsafe”.

"Five #Jewish #comedy legends who reshaped the ‘#90s.

The 1990’s provided a major shift in the tone and style of #comedy in #America. Observational humor took the place of the simple set up/punchline. The classic sitcom evolved from the traditional escapades of mistaken identities and tired tropes that dated back to the 50s. Even sketch comedy took a bold, experimental approach that embraced mind-bending randomness.

At the core of all the innovations were Jewish #comedians. Obviously, Jerry Seinfeld's iconic show Seinfeld would be top of the list. So in the spirit of subverting expectations, here are five great Jewish comedians of the #1990s that aren’t Jerry Seinfeld."

“#Jewish #comedians have gone in one of two directions recently. They’ve either become much more expressive of their identity, on and off stage, or removed it almost entirely from their material. There’s definitely an external expectation of being seen to be ‘the right kind of #Jew’: one who conforms to the widely held and loudly shouted views. There isn’t a great deal of knowledge or understanding of the rich diversity in Jewish history, thought and ­opinion, and this means that labels get placed on ­Jewish people without nuance or critical thinking.”

Heute haben wir in der #ZDF #Mediathek die neue #LateNight #Show "#TillTonight" mit #TillReiners geschaut.

War nicht lustig.

Fast immer, wenn #Comedians etwas anderes machen, als sie sonst machen und ein größeres Format bekommen, ist es nicht lustig. Till ist "tryin too hard", schon Tonlage und Lautstärke wirken unangenehm, als müssten die #Pointen zünden, wenn man sie uns nur energisch genug entgegen ruft.

Gut waren 2 Dinge:
1. Sympathische Gästin #HazelBrugger
2. kurze Sendedauer
