Review for Old Jews Telling Jokes:

This production by Peter Gethers and Daniel Okrent features a cast of five (two women and three men) from the national touring company will perform in Chattanooga for one evening only.  Outrageous one-liners, double-entendres and hysterical routines contains adult language and themes, will surely make you laugh. This comedy production includes classic jokes, comic songs, and tributes to some of the giants of the comedy world. If you've ever had a mother, visited a doctor, or walked into a bar with a priest, a rabbi and a frog, you will enjoy the jokes. 

“We are fortunate to have this touring production stop in Chattanooga," said Michael Dzik, Federation executive director.  "Most of us know the work of Jewish comedians from Adam Sandler to Jerry Seinfeld, from Billy Crystal to Ben Stiller. And, this is only recent history.  Think of comedians Carl Reiner, Danny Kaye, Ed Asner, Jackie Mason and Don Rickles, and the list goes on and on.”

The Jewish Cultural Center, funded by the Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga, offers programs, classes and exhibits; social services; and a preschool—all rooted in Jewish values.  The facility enables the Jewish community to raise its visibly, foster relationships, and strengthen its identity in the Chattanooga area.  The Center and its programs are open to everyone regardless of religious affiliation.
