Sid Caesar: Comedy Pioneer

On Wednesday, February 25 from 1pm-2:30pm at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco at 3200 California Street, I'll present "Sid Caesar: Comedy Pioneer." In the beginning of the 1950s, Sid Caesar invented television sketch comedy as one of the major performers of the weekly Your Show of Shows live variety program. I'll present highlights from this legendary Jewish comic’s work, spotlighting his skill at both gymnastic physical routines and verbal repartee. Clips will include other notable comics featured on the show, such as Carl Reiner and Imogene Coca. Additionally, the show’s writers included the talents of such up-and-coming celebrities such as Mel Brooks and Woody Allen. Admission is free, though registration is advised through https://www.jccsf.org/event/sid-caesar-comedy-pioneer/. This event will not be on Zoom or recorded.
