Mark Thomas Presents....
BBC Radio 4
Broadcast 07-28 Dec 2005 (4 episodes)
Producer: Paul Bejoria


Mark Thomas hosts shows featuring iconic American comedians.

1/4. In an exclusive appearance, Stan Freberg reprises some of the routines that made
him a legend. (27:46)

Stan Freberg began his career doing voices for Warner Brothers cartoon characters,
before launching his own career as performer and producer of classic comedy records
in 1952. He was given his own US network radio show in the late '50s, inheriting the
slot vacated by the great Jack Benny. He's remembered for his razor-sharp parodies of
Elvis Presley, Lonnie Donegan, the US police series Dragnet, and of Harry Belafonte's
Banana Boat Song which was also a sizeable British hit. In this one-off British
appearance at the London Comedy Store, Stan, now 79, reprises some of the greatest
moments of his comedy career.



2/4. An exclusive appearance by the inspired and politically-astute alternative comedy
team The Firesign Theatre (David Ossman, Phil Proctor, Peter Bergman, sans Phil Austin)
(27:48)

3/4. The freely improvising scourge of right wing America, Mort Sahl. (27:21)


4/4. In an exclusive appearance for Radio 4, Shelley Berman brings his unique
observational wit to the UK. (27:34)
