Matt Roush

Matt Roush says...

The shamelessly joke-a-minute spirit of legendary clown Mel Brooks (now 96) fuels a four-night sequel (through Thursday) to his 1981 sketch-comedy romp through world history. Brooks is seen only briefly, his head attached CGI-style to buff bodies, but he’s heard throughout, narrating a show that, like Brooks, will do anything and roast any sacred cow for a laugh. Nick Kroll, Ike Barinholtz and Wanda Sykes lead a starry cast as the first night sets up most of the running gags, involving the Civil War, the Russian Revolution, Shirley Chisholm’s historic run for the presidency—and most memorably, the story of Jesus, introduced as a Larry David parody (“Curb Your Judaism”) with Kroll as a nebbishy Judas who squirms at the thought of foot-washing. (See the full review.)
