Product description
Woody Allen - Standup Comic - CD
Amazon.co.uk
Compiled from Woody Allen's legendary standup routines of the mid 1960s, Standup Comic is an absolute necessity for any acolyte of the man's solid work from his Casino Royale and New Yorker phase.
"Here's a good example of oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, and she said 'No.'"
Between a youthful stint as a TV gag man and his groundbreaking films of the 1970s, Allen tried his hand at standup. He was, predictably, a success. Taken from nightclub dates in 1964, 65 and 68, Standup Comic shows how stylistically similar he was to contemporaries like Bill Cosby but also how his absurd flights of imagination made him utterly unique.
"I took a puff of the wrong cigarette at a fraternity dance once. The cops had to come and get me. I broke two teeth trying to give a hickey to the Statue of Liberty."
Now that he's a junior-varsity Ingmar Bergman, it's easy to forget that Allen's first public face was that of a world-class shlub--a rumpled redhead who shared stories of analysis, sexual frustration and failure. The long-form tales featured on Standup Comic (including Allen's famous bit featuring a moose and a cocktail party) provide plenty of laughs as well as an early glimpse at this protean comic genius. --Mike Gerber

If you only buy one Woody Allen CD buy this one.
This cd is brilliant and the humour on it from Mr Allen which over 40 odd years later is still funny and fresh today.
Anyone who has grown up with this type of life annalistic comedy will love this cd .
Great fun filled hours with Woody !
The disc contains 25 tracks from 3 stand up performances in reverse chronological order,
The first 5 from 1968 in San Francisco
Next 8 tracks from 1965 in Washington
and last 12 tracks from 1964 in Chicago
The sound quality is fairly good for nightclub performances recorded about 45 years ago,and if needed you can find on the internet the transcripts of all these 3 shows.
