Are we allowed to make jokes about the Holocaust? Tragedy and comedy collide in The Last Laugh, a thought-provoking and funny documentary about the boundaries of comedy and one of the most taboo subjects. World-famous comedians including Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Sarah Silverman, Gilbert Gottfried, Harry Shearer, Jeff Ross, Judy Gold, Susie Essman, Larry Charles, and many other critical thinkers, as well as Holocaust survivors themselves, give their opinions on where the line is in comedy. Personal experiences are shared and we delve into some of the most famous punchlines in history. From Charlie Chaplin comedies to Seinfeld, take a look at what is or isn’t off-limits in a society that prizes freedom of speech. Star-studded, provocative and thoroughly entertaining, The Last Laugh dares to ask the uncomfortable questions.
