The other night I shot the one and only Jackie Mason. Born in 1936 - this legendary comic is still working. Mason's standup rings of comedy of another era and is directed mainly to Jewish audiences. I brought a couple of my friends who lacked the Jewish cultural experience and I can say, they were pretty lost with many of his jokes. You have to be familiar with Jewish culture to get Mason's punch lines! Although Mason is not my kind of comic I hold his comic spirit in great reverance. Still working and making people laugh! |
