"...a hallucinatory brand of surrealistic comic
performances..."
Rolling Stone
Born underground in the late '60s, Firesign Theatre has been in the
vanguard of social commentary with their unique brand of brain-bending
comedy, inspiring a devoted following of loyal fans, including some
of the funniest people in America.
|
After 35 years their first-ever
television special is here, containing many of their legendary hits from
"Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers" to "Give Me Immortality
Or Give Me Death...". Meet some of the famous funny friends
and fans of Firesign. Flash backwards, forwards, and inwards with the
surreal adventures of Nick Danger, George Tirebiter, Principal Poop,
Rocky Rococo, Bebop Lobo and the other satiric, cerebral characters
who will always define the neo-nostalgic and "Weirdly Cool."
