This week on The Atomic Age Cocktail Party, you’re in for a laugh. It’s a show titled Comedy Tonight! We pull out some of the best comedy records of the hi-fi era from some legends of the comedy scene. Comedy LPs came in several flavors. Some of the most popular ones were recordings of live stand-up performances…a chance for you to bring that smoky comedy club experience home with you to enjoy from the comfort of your own stereo. We’ll hear from Bob Newhart, Nichols and May, Mort Sahl, and many others.
