Product Description

Jackie Mason is the author, star and sole cast member of the longest running, biggest-selling, one-man show in Broadway history. Hailed as 'one of the greatest stand up comics of all time' (Mel Brooks), his special brand of New York Jewish humour has become renowned the world over. Jackie Oy! is Jackie Mason's extraordinary story - of overnight stardom, of his subsequent fall and of his recent spectacular rise to the top. Filled with funny, poignant stories of his years spent as a second-string entertainer playing to noisy, unappreciative audiences; of hopes dashed each time a promised break fell through; of intense competition among fellow comedians and of a colourful feud with Frank Sinatra. Jackie Oy! is Jackie Mason talking openly and hilariously, with all the superb wit that has made him a cult figure.
