The Wedding Jester with John Feffer

Yiddish Book Center 1021 West St., Amherst, MA, United States

John Feffer’s one man show The Wedding Jester is a fictional account inspired by the real-life making of the Fiddler on the Roof film, telling how a Jewish stand-up comedian confronts a non-Jewish director of over errors in the film’s script. The Wedding Jester traces the history of Jewish comedy from the weddings of the Old Country to the Borscht Belt of the United States, challenging our notions of authenticity and of what is “too Jewish” or “not Jewish enough”. The performance is 60 minutes followed by a 30-minute Q&A.
