Jackie Mason - A Night At The Opera (London 2002)

[@antoniosantorini9355]

You don't realize what an amazing talent it is for one man to hold an audience for over an hour like that

[@unlokia]

ESPECIALLY British people, they are very awkward, and are not used to REAL comedy!

I'm a Roman Catholic and I love Jackie Mason's Jewish humour. He's right up there in my favourite top comedians.

[@sevelatula]

Jackie is amazing. His timing is perfect and his delivery is marvelous. My favorite comedian ever. I start laughing even before he starts his show.

[@havanakim]

Genius, old school. RIP Jackie..

[@johnbarone8948]

I saw Jackie at a night club in Brooklyn, NY around this time in '92 just hanging out and just passed him by. I knew who he was but just said to myself he's from another generation why bother saying hello. I wish I would have said hello and told him what a tremendous and funny talented man he was and how much I admire him.

[@johnw8984]

Watching my Johnny Carson he cracks me up doing the Ed Sullivan imitation Ed Sullivan almost ruined his career over a stupid misunderstanding

[@kevinreay1510]

Handled the microphone problem perfectly. Great to see a real pro taking control of the situation.

[@j_freed]

NICOLE ORZECHOWSKA - thank G-d he has a personality...

[@AmericanIsraeliJew]

I'm not a big hero worshipper but Jackie is one of my heros. It is true that laughter is the best medicine and Jackie is my favorite Doctor.

[@johnlinden7398]

ONE OF THE GREAT COMIC GENIUSES OF OUR TIME ! HIS JEWISH BRONX ACCENT, BODY LANGUAGE AND JOKING ABOUT HIS OWN CULTURE AND HERITAGE IS HILARIOUS !

What a gem he is. And who knew he can sing! Great comedian and hazzan.

[@misterghee1]

Everybody.... 😮😂🎉🎉🎉😊

[@scentmemories1047]

One of my favorite comics of all time, definitely my favorite Jewish comic. RIP Jackie

[@tonyfigs8148]

Jackie Mason, he's the best. I think what makes people laugh so hard and so spontaneously is that everyone realizes that when he pokes fun at a particular group, Jews, Gentiles, that the people listening realize that they do the same thing sort of thing. The biggest laughs a comedian will get are "nervous laughs," the person in the audience seeing themself in the joke. RIP, Jackie, you made a lot, a lot of people happy.

[@barrybeez]

"Hey mister did you fall asleep? I'm talking to you, nazi badtard" The world's best comic. Ever! R.I.P.

[@DannyPVogelsang]

During a lengthy workshop session I caught the Jewish husbands sketch. Work stopped for 2 hours on new years eve. And resumed the following day with six of us impoysonatn Jackie. He was totally infectious. RIP Mr Mason.

[@ketchup5344]

I feel like showing this to anyone who wants to be-or even is-a stand up comedian and saying: this is how it's done ✌

Loved him as a kid and even now in 2021 I keep coming for more.

You were amazing I had the pleasure of seeing you in London some years back

[@totalprocall6894]

Has there been another comic so good at doing similar routines for years? Jackie never gets old.

[@comprehensiveboycomprehens8786]

Total Procall His material never gets old because frankly it was never new.

[@j_freed]

That's his natural hair color too. My aunt Bertha buys it... the bottle says 'All Natural Hair Color.'

[@j_freed]

The way he handled the hecklers at the beginning made for an excellent start to the show… What a pro.

[@ImGoingSupersonic]

Think so?

[@michaeljohnfoster2316]

The show was over ten minutes ago, I was ashamed to tell you about it. Great line.

[@damnationdefied777]

Will miss you!

Jackie’s impersonations are too funny! Never heard better.

[@johnchoquette3728]

That man is a truly GREAT man !

[@michael-gs6kh]

Find out about his political views - you might not think he is so great then

[@thomasthomas2418]

Jackie Mason was one of the greatest comedians in show business. Combining wry observations with a little sarcasm, he was able to tap into some great universal truths. Many comedians owe their styles and careers to him. The only thing I'm sad to learn is that he began sliding into the use of four-letter words, which he had previously opposed.

[@aa697]

He is in the Mount Rushmore of comedians with Jack Benny, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield and Don Rickles.

[@tonyfigs8148]

Absolutely right. In addition, he's unique, no one was or ever could be like him. There was only one Jackie Mason, IMO, the best!

[@rogermansour993]

Let's not forget AL BROOKS, , DICK SHAWN,WOODY ALLEN

IT'S SO FUNNY....I NEVER LIKES HIM WHEN HE'D GO ONTO SULLIVAN SHOW...BUT I LOVE HIM NOW I MUST HAVE BEEN TOO YOUNG TO REALIZE HE'S ACTUALLY A GENIUS

[@ImGoingSupersonic]

Why are you YELLING

[@The22on]

What is the difference between a good comedian and a great comedian? I think it's TRUTH. The greater the truth, the greater the comedian. And the more serious the topic... the greater the comedian. Any comedian can make fun of politics, restaurants, the opposite sex, doctors, etc. But to make fun about our innermost thoughts, who runs the world, our prejudices, the part of us that we all keep hidden from the world... that is hard to do. In my opinion, the true greats are Mason, Carlin, and a handful of other - can't think of who right now. I would rank Carlin as the 'gold standard' of truth-telling about serious topics. These guys are PHILOSOPHERS. Groucho sometimes approaches greatness. Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor Mel Brooks, Woody Allen also. Who am I forgetting?

[@larrycom]

Spot on!

[@mrtee8674]

Dave Chapelle

[@djmcnerney]

I agree with you. I think Jackie Mason should be ranked with the all-time greats: George Carlin, Jonathan Winters, Jack Benny, Bob Newhart, Bob & Ray, Martin Short. Chappelle & Chris Rock are earning their places alongside Pryor, Charlie Hill. Bill Maher is good. My criteria: who do I turn to again and again, to make me laugh, who is deeply funny or who has an observational intelligence.

[@GTP2-zg9tn]

Just like a Great Jazz musician, Jackie can improvise with the greatest of ease. And actually listen to hecklers complaints and correct the audio issue too.

[@rosalieciardullo3150]

JACKIE IS THE BEST!

[@marios8016]

I listen to his bin laden line, how they were getting closer and closer everyday, I laugh every single time I hear it, his way your saying things I love

[@fredrodnick2881]

I've liked comedy since I was a boy and I used to have 2 albums by him years ago. Now that I hear this, he's even funnier now. As a matter of fact I think he's my favorite comedian now. Too bad he's no longer with us.

[@theskolcup]

Completely underrated. Better than Dangerfield, Cosby, Barr, Burr, Newhart, Miller, Klein, Winters et Al and all those other cocks that are rated higher than him

[@georgeeroes256]

RIP

[@mylovesongs2429]

Jackie was great in this video. He never was bad in any show, that i know of. I idolize stand-up comedians, where they always have something to say. It is their act. They gotta have a great memory to remember how their jokes go. They can't bomb a joke! They gotta keep their audience entertained, and they do a great job. Even some comedian, or comedienne, who sucks, like Amy Schumer, does a great job in keeping her audience entertained.

caddyshack bought me here, why I don't know

[@mylovesongs2429]

Jackie was great in Mel Brooks' History of the World - Part 1. He played the part of the Jewish man during the "The Inquisition" part, talking about the people who "started playing ping-pong with my balls". He took his Jewishness to heart. Listen to how many times he says the word "Jew" in this video. The only ever Jewish stand-up comedian i know of that talks about his Jewishness, mentions other Jews in his act, is Lewis Black. Maybe there are more out there. May he RIP.
