Making Trouble: Jewish Female Comedians

From: Deanna Neil
Length: 06:32

A 1st person feature story surrounding the film "Making Trouble" Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-0 This is a 1st person feature story exploring Jewish female comedians through the movie "Making Trouble". I conducted interviews with Corey Cahaney and Joyce Antler, pulled audio from the film and explored what each of them contributed as performers, and what made them similar and different from each other. This was originally part of an hour long PRI holiday special for Hannukah, "Hannukah: A Time for Schtick". NOTE: The audio on this is a little funky, but I can get my hands on a better copy if you are interested in the story.
