North Shore History: Shorewood’s Comedy Heritage
Shorewood comedy geniuses were behind some of the biggest hits of the ‘80s
As fans prepare for a 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun, we remember how Shorewood’s own comedy heroes put the North Shore on the comedy map. Film directors Jerry and David Zucker and their childhood buddy Jim Abrahams all grew up in Shorewood. (The comedy is also one of several high-profile alumni of Shorewood High School.) They wrote and directed a string of hit comedy films (Airplane!, Kentucky Fried Movie, Top Secret! and the Naked Gun series) that pioneered today’s parody genre.
See you out there,
