Synopsis

Finally, the ultimate book of Jewish humor is here, complete with Jewish nursery blueprints (which includes a panic room, fireproof wallpaper, and a guardian ninja, of course), the top-ten list of Jewish 'dont's', the complete timeline of Jewish expulsion, and much, much more.
Before creating Jewtopia the play in 2003, Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson were unemployed actors and writers who couldn't get a break. Taking matters into their own hands, they wrote a play, maxed out their credit cards, and mounted the production themselves.
Jewtopia went on to become the longest-running original theatrical comedy in Los Angeles history. The show moved to off-Broadway in October 2004 and, as of the publication of this book, still plays nightly to sold-out audiences, with productions opening all over the world.
Now, for the first time in this book, Fogel and Wolfson are bringing their theatrical work to the comfort of your home.

This book is a little dated. It’s from 2005ish and the humor is pretty dark. But, the humor is incredibly funny. This book is insightful and witty and charming while also poignant and interesting. The audio version features some really good voice work so go for the audiobook. Enjoy!......more

Goodreads review by Melvin on June 30, 2018

I think I preferred this only slightly more than I liked the movie. It was mostly the same humour you get from all the other books.......more

Goodreads review by Samantha on September 16, 2009

Funny, funny stuff! Not fantastic and groundbreakingly funny (afterall, there are only so many Jew jokes two Jews can smoosh into one book) but I am very eager to see the show now! A history of the Jews by Jews from Genesis right down to proof that the Jews own Hollywood...worth the three hours it t......more
