To Be Or Not To Be - not the Mel Brooks film but one starring Jack Benny

Fascinating fact time - Jews might account for less than 2.5% of the American population but approximately 70% of the USA's working comedians are Jewish.

It's not so strange. Take a few seconds and you can probably think of three straight off. How about Woody Allen, Mel Brooks and Jerry Lewis.

All feature throughout the Out of Sight festival.

There's a triple dose of Woody Allen with screenings of Sleeper, Annie Hall and Mahattan.

One of the stars of Jewish comedy - Woody Allen

You can live again the famous bean sequence in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. And if you want to see how they did things before Eddie Murphy got his hands on the script, there's the Jerry Lewis original of The Nutty Professor.

The season reflects Jewish talent throughout the twentieth century. From 1935, the Marx Brothers star in A Night At the Opera. A year later came one of the most successful musicals in the history of Yiddish cinema - Yiddle With His Fiddle.

Bringing events right up to date, there's a showing of Leon the Pig Farmer. This is the story of a young Jew who discovers he's the product of artificial insemination but who also finds out that some mixed up test tubes resulted in his true father being a Yorkshire pig farmer.
