Episode 54 – Dan Schlissel on Myron Cohen – Everybody Gotta Be Someplace

Posted on by

danschlisselI got the chance this episode to speak with Dan Schlissel who founded Stand Up! Records  and was kind enough to give me a glimpse into the world of Myron Cohen.  Once upon a time there were ethnic comedians – comics who made hay from their specific ethnic backgrounds with all the love of a great storyteller and joke teller.  This is a wonderful snapshot of a bygone era and a great glimpse into the world of collecting comedy on vinyl.

Episode 20 – Woody Allen – Standup Comic

Posted on by

Before he was Alvy Singer – before he was Woody Allen, even – he was still a writer named simply Woody Allen.  He was turning his behind-the-scenes skills from writing on “Your Show of Shows” and for the stage into a persona to accompany his work.  Though its been said that he hated doing stand-up, there’s no doubt that his point of view ended up so succinct and focused as a result of this character work that the film work that followed wouldn’t be nearly what we have today.

Even if you don’t like his later films (I suggest you just start from the top, chronologically, and stop when you get bored), you should listen to the classic bits archived on this two-disc set.  It chronicles an evolution from an inexperienced standup and brilliant writer, to a man who merged the form with the content brilliantly.
