I don't get the joke, joey and chandler are looking for a scene name for joey, chandler suggest Joseph Staline as a joke but Joey has no idea of who is it.
then chandler, miming the name of a show says " Bye bye birdie, starring Joseph staline, Joseph Staline is the fiddler on the roof"

It’s the title of a play or musical I believe.

I know it might refers to Staline or to the play, maybe a mix, but what fiddler on the roof means ?
- English (US)
I’m not sure, maybe I would have to watch the scene.

no I don't think watching the scene would help you but knowing about the musical or Joseph stalin might. could you tell me what does "fiddler on the roof" means literally ? maybe then I'll figure it out by myself.
- English (US)
A fiddle is an instrument, similar to a guitar. Therefore, the fiddler on the roof is someone playing a fiddle on a roof.
