▼a Although Jewish studies, sociology, and performance studies texts abound with productive scholarship on Jewish men and their contributions to comedy in the mid-century United States, there is remarkably scant attention devoted to the equally significant contributions of their female counterparts. Nowhere is that bias clearer than the peculiar case of Jean Carroll-the first Jewish female stand-up comedian, whose name is typically omitted from both histories of comedy and Jewish-American performance writ large. Using evidence from the unpublished archive of Jean Carroll's scrapbook, documentary footage, and television clips, as well as three kinds of periodicals (Jewish, mainstream, and industry), I have drawn on archival and ethnographic research models to argue that both Carroll's groundbreaking success and her historiographic erasure reveal the limits of tolerance in the post-WWII United States. The first chapter functions in part as the most thorough biographical work on Jean Carroll to date, while also making the case that from its inception, stand-up comedy was a forum to rehearse the same subversively autonomous principles that pioneers like Jean Carroll enacted in their own lives. It examines her background as a Jewish child who immigrated to the United States amidst intense xenophobic sentiment (legislated through policies like the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924) |
