HistoryThe Borscht Belt arose in the early 20th century out of the tradition of Yiddish theater, in Jewish resort areas in the Catskill Mountains in New York. Many of the most famous Jewish comedians of the twentieth century launched their careers there.[2] Many of the comedians gained a wider mainstream audience with the rise of Vaudeville.[4] Until recent years, most Jewish comedians adopted stage names that did not sound ethnic, as a way of gaining wider acceptance.[2] Even among those who did not want to be considered Jewish comedians, their experiences as Jews were often included their humor, including their moral sensibility.[2] Themes and stylesSome common themes among American Jewish comedians include their heritage as Jews,[1] experience of living between two worlds (ethnic and mainstream),[1] anxiety of living as a minority in America[1] and the foibles of American culture.[1] Jewish comedy has often featured ridicule and insult jokes, including insulting other minority groups.[1] Characteristics of comedians include wit,[1] verbal skills,[1] self-mockery,[1] and a "critical edge".[1] Women in Jewish-American humorWhereas women had not been prominent in comedic roles in Europe, the changing roles of Jewish women in America allowed for the emergence of a class of female Jewish comedians, who have focused on their perspective as women, often adopting a feminist position.[3] Representative examplesFollowing is a partial list of notable Americans for whom Jewishness is relevant to their role as comedians or humorists. {{colbegin}}
