When Comedy Went to School

When Comedy Went to School looks back on an era when the legends of laughter were mere pishers, and the famous Catskill Mountains in upstate New York created a golden generation of comics who made our sides split. Narrated by Borscht Belt veteran Robert Klein, the film features revealing interviews and contributions from comedy icons such as Jerry Lewis, Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Jerry Stiller, Jackie Mason, Larry King, Mort Sahl, Marc Maron, and Joan Rivers. Through rare clips, interviews, and performances by comedy greats like Woody Allen, Rodney Dangerfield, Lenny Bruce, Don Rickles, Billy Crystal, and a young Jerry Seinfeld and Danny Kaye—the film shines an incredibly entertaining spotlight on the creators of American humor.
