“Side-splittingly hilarious.” — — Ken Burns

“Be sure to pick up this funny read. You won’t regret it.” — Atlanta Jewish Times
“Let There Be Laughter is as much a memoir as an anthology, and some of the best moments in the book are the anecdotes that Krasny tells about how Jewish humor asserts itself in unexpected, provocative and meaningful ways.” — Jewish Journal
“[Krasny] closes with the hope that his book has brought ‘deep appreciation for the remarkably widely-ranging genius of Jewish comedy.’...delightful.” — New York Times Book Review
