A Catskills "Tummler" Looks Back 50 Years and Beyond

From Schloime Ehrenreich's Hotel to Kutsher's Country Club

Relive those great Catskill summers with Larry Strickler, consummate "Borscht Belt Tummler."  What is a "tummler?"  "Tummler" is a Yiddish word for an entertainer who constantly jokes, baits, heckles and clowns to make sure every customer is having fun.  Strickler explores the history of "the mountains," with an emphasis on the last 50 years.  Laugh, cry and reminisce as your travel up Route 17 through photos, film, singing and audience participation.
