Description
Making Trouble tells the story of six of the greatest female comic entertainers of the last century: Molly Picon, Fanny Brice, Sophie Tucker, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner and Wendy Wasserstein.
Hosted by four of the funniest women of today (Judy Gold, Jackie Hoffman, Cory Kahaney, and Jessica Kirson), Making Trouble is the true saga of what it means to be Jewish, female, and funny.
Since its premiere in 2007 at the SilverDocs festival, Making Trouble has screened at almost 150 festivals and community venues.
With Making Trouble, the Jewish Women’s Archive continues its work to uncover, chronicle and transmit the rich history of American Jewish women. Since its founding in 1995, JWA has worked in a variety of media to bring to life the stories, struggles and achievements of American Jewish women. We provide educators with tools for teaching this history and through our website, JWA.org, offer a wealth of information, resources, guides, and discussion forums to millions of people all over the world.
Our programs and resources are made possible by the generosity of individuals like you. To support our work, go to JWA.org.
Empowering, side-splitting laughs!

JWA is the only organization that is using innovative technologies as a way of making Jewish women’s history accessible and interactive and exciting.
Rachel Axelbank, The Jewish Advocate
I actually am only in [the movie] because I wanted a free pastrami sandwich, Gold jokes in a phone interview. I had no idea it would become a film.
Rachel Beckman, Washington Post
The film is like a standing ovation for performers who have earned one.
