Summary: Humor that stays funny and does not grow tiresome
Review: If there is a comedy bit funnier than the Abbot & Costello routine "Who's On First?", I have yet to see or hear it. I am not a prude by any means, and as a former construction worker, have uttered my share of expletives. Nevertheless, I have grown tired of "comedians" whose idea of humor is to swear a lot. This tape took me back to the days when humor was situational, based on timing, delivery and intonation.
In listening to the "Who's on First?" routine, you cannot help but be impressed by the crispness of the delivery, the inflection on the words and the genuine laughter of the live audience. I found myself laughing at it, even though I have heard it so many times. The other routines are also funny, again based on quality dialog and the delivery skills of two master comedians. I listened to it twice, enjoying it even more the second time.
