Standup Comic [Live]

Amazon.com
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 zhlub--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) provide plenty of laughs as well as an early glimpse at this protean comic genius. --Mike Gerber

Classic Comedy.......2007-06-08

This C.D. contains some of Woody Allen's best material from this early stand-up days. Listening to this material is crucial to hve any sort of well-rounded sense of humor. Classic sketches such as The Moose, told in Woody's semi-neurotic craze will keep you laughing for days.

hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-07-10

For woody allen's fan, a must-have! soooo funny!!!!! you juste feel sorry you weren't there to watch!

Don't Moose this one!.......2006-03-10

Extremely funny. If you like WA movies, you'll recognize some lines/themes. Must have for WA fans.

Buy the imported EMI double CD .......2006-02-15

This is excellent material. Woody Allen was a brilliant stand-up comedian before he became a brilliant film-maker.
This single CD, however, is badly edited (sometimes in the middle of a routine) to reduce what was originally a double LP set of 93 minutes down to single CD length.

Search out the EMI import double CD of the same. Amazon has it. I just got mine. It is complete, and funny as hell as well as sophisticated.

Even at really reasonable used prices, you'll be missing too much if you get this single disc.

Love the Movies? Buy the CD.......2005-11-22

Say "Woody Allen" to any ten people and you're likely to get five hates and five loves. There's not much middle ground; either he's hilarious and a brilliant filmmaker or he's an elitist degenerate. Myself, I think he's one of the funniest men alive, to which this CD gives perfect testament. Allen's humor wasn't particularly political or expansively social like Bruce, Sahl, or Gregory. He did mostly short bits, and the subject matter will be familiar to those who have seen his films; his family, Judaism, growing up in New York, being a nebbish, his mixed results with women, etc. "The Moose" and "Down South" are my favorites; the first may be The Perfect Bit, with one of the great payoff lines of all-time.

Basically, it depends on which side of the fence you stand, because this won't convert anyone. If you can't stand him, this probably won't change your mind. If you think his films are funny, you'll love this CD.

Great comedians for a great cause.......2003-04-23

A collection of comedy acts from the Comic Relief 1990 performance. These are all the best selections from the charity performance, with greats like George Carlin and Rita Rudner. Packed chock-full of laughs, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good adult comedy. Yes, there are explicit jokes and some of them are a little crude, but this was never intended for children. The political issues discussed here are a little outdated, such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill, but they are still rabidly hilarious. And at this price, who could resist?
