Join us as we host John Conway: "Laughter is the Best Medicine: The Borscht Belt and American Comedy"

During the 1930s, as Sullivan County's resort industry was completing its transition from the wood-framed Victorian hotels of the Silver Age to the stucco Mission-style behemoths of the Golden Age, most of the region's hotels began to hire social staffs that included aspiring entertainers of all kinds. The resulting impact of the so-called Borscht Belt on American entertainment is undeniable, and in recognition of April as National Humor Month, Sullivan County Historian John Conway examines that impact in "Laughter is the Best Medicine: The Borscht Belt and American Comedy."
