Jackie Mason gives the final performance of his lifetime in his farewell stand-up show from New York. An entire chapter in the history of American comedy is embodied by Jackie Mason and there’s nobody left alive who can do the cadences and rhythms of his aggressive Borsch-Belt style with such panache. Mason has pursued the Jewish joke with a tenacity and single-mindedness that exceed those of anyone else in show business. Even when he’s talking politics, a Jewish joke is never far behind; Barack Obama? He ‘looks like a Jew with a tan.’ His subjects include the current emphasis on status - the reason for distant vacations to inaccessible islands (‘if it was an island off Newark, you think any Jew would go there?’), why Jews visit European churches when they’d never step into one in this country, the reason for owning a computer but never using it, high-priced restaurants and high-priced cars are also noted as absurd status symbols. And the opera, where ‘you see two Gentiles screaming and 2000 Jews - shlauf! (asleep) They should take out the chairs and put in beds.’ ‘Mason’s swan song gives his audience exactly what it wants’ - Variety. You could win one of two copies of this hilarious DVD from Arrow Films by answering this question:
