Get your DVD at www.makingtrouble.com! Making Trouble, the new documentary about legendary funny Jewish women who broke barriers and shook the social order to make us laugh, had its world premiere at the 2007 SILVERDOCS/AFI Discovery Channel Documentary Festival. Making Trouble profiles six Jewish women who struggled and sacrificed for their fame, and who turned the old "death is easy, comedy is hard" joke completely on its head. Molly Picon, Fanny Brice, Sophie Tucker, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner, and Wendy Wasserstein proved that comedy is easy, being a Jewish woman in comedy is hard.

  • Wendy Wasserstein is the epitome of hilarious. She was such a wonderful person, a wonderful voice. I hope that...I know that she planted the seeds for new young voices to be able to speak out and share their worlds.
