The late
Borscht Belt comedian Joey Adams (Joseph Abramowitz, 1911-1999), was a sometimes vaudeville, nightclub and TV comic, a sometimes stage actor, a sometimes comedy/joke/gag writer, a sometimes showbiz historian, a sometimes film actor, a sometimes newspaper columnist, a sometimes radio host, a sometimes dial a comic, and a sometimes Friars club Roastmaster. He was also the husband to society/gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a friend of celebrities and politicians... and most prolifically, an author of many, many books.
