Butterfly," at the Stage Deli in New York. Mason hosted a late-night supper party in honor of the 1988 Tony winners and Broadway’s summer season. Mason, a rabbi-turned-jokester whose feisty brand of standup comedy got laughs from nightclubs in the Catskills to West Coast talk shows and Broadway stages, has died. He was 93. Mason died Saturday, July 24, 2021, in Manhattan, the celebrity lawyer Raul Felder told The New York Times. (AP Photo/Adam Stoltman, File)
