Not merely a novelty album, Now That Sounds Kosher! is a primer in the history of Jewish-American comedy. Alongside quirky acts like Guns and Charoses, Yid Rock and What I Like About Jew sit legends Allan Sherman and Mickey Katz, as well crossover favorites "Weird Al" Yankovic, Mel Brooks and Tom Lehrer. They’re all part of a great tradition of daring and provocative humor.
