JACKIE MASON FRESHLY SQUEEZED--it was conceived in Florida, evidently--will move on after its limited national tour to open on Broadway in March of 2005. "I am excited about getting back to what I do best and what my audience like best," said Mason. "I am writing new jokes every day and soon I'll be telling them every night. Just me...one Jew talking and that's it." Topics to be satirized include same-sex marriages, stock market fraud, celebrities on trial, the epidemic of new diets and, in an election year, "politics, politics and more politics."

Mr. Mason has so cunningly manufactured and marketed his dyspeptic comic persona - the herky-jerky movements used to embellish the routines, the voice that's like a sinus infection with a bad back - that he may soon be able to refine all actual jokes out of his act and still slay 'em. That's chutzpah. And quite a talent, too
