About this Event
THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART I (1981) - OCT 17
The History of the World, Part I From the Stone Age to the French Revolution, Mel Brooks gave us a history lesson like no other with The History of the World, Part I. Equal parts hilarious and historically inaccurate, the film is a tour de farce of Brooks’ iconic brand of comedy. But what makes this film truly remarkable is how it uses the past to hold a funhouse mirror to the present. Join us for a look at how Brooks transforms history’s darkest moments into comedy gold, proving that sometimes, the best way to understand the world is by laughing at it.
MEL BROOKS
A master of satire and slapstick, Mel Brooks redefined comedy in film by tackling taboo subjects with razor-sharp wit and absurd humor. From parodying entire genres to poking fun at history and social norms, Brooks has a unique ability to make audiences laugh while subtly inviting them to think. As a director, writer, and actor, his films blend clever satire with visual gags, and his enduring influence on comedy is seen in everything from spoof films to sitcoms. Brooks’ fearless approach to humor is what makes him a true legend of the screen!
PRE-SHOW ENTERTAINMENT
Join us at 6 PM for a pre-show spectacle that’s just as wild as the film! We’ll have historical interview clips, absurd vintage commercials, and fan-made tributes to set the stage for an unforgettable night of Mel Brooks’ history-bending humor.
